AMAs 2015: Coldplay, Macklemore and Gwen Stefani Added to Performance Lineup

The 2015 American Music Awards performance lineup is continuing to be totally stacked. On Wednesday (Nov. 11), the AMAs announced that Gwen Stefani, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and Coldplay will perform at this year's ceremony.

The three newly announced performers will take the stage on Sunday, Nov. 22, Billboard reports. They join an already stacked and diverse lineup of musicians. 5 Seconds of Summer, Selena Gomez, Carrie Underwood, Nick Jonas, Demi Lovato, One Direction and Walk the Moon. Earlier this week, it was also announced that a cappella group Pentatonix will also be performing at the AMAs with a special tribute to the Star Wars score.

The addition of Stefani, Coldplay and Macklemore makes perfect sense for both the artists and the AMAs. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis released their first new single in a few years "Downtown" earlier this summer, and the Grammy-winning rap duo are also gearing up to release a new album in 2016.

Stefani also recently revived her solo career with the emotional single "Used to Love You," though her third solo album still has yet to receive any concrete details.

Coldplay is the only newly announced band to have a cemented release date with its new studio album A Head Full Of Dreams. The band's new LP (and its potential last album) will be released on Dec. 4 and Coldplay released the lead single "Adventure of a Lifetime" last week.
