Billboard‘s Women in Music event wouldn’t be complete without a lineup of powerhouse musical performances, nor would the awards be nearly as meaningful without a slate of accomplished women on hand to present them. And on Wednesday (Feb. 26), the list of names for both were announced ahead of the 2025 ceremony.
Among the performers at this year’s show — taking place at 10 p.m. ET on March 29 — are Ángela Aguilar, aespa, GloRilla, Gracie Abrams, Megan Moroney, Muni Long and Tyla. As previously announced, each of those names will be honored with one of Billboard‘s several WIM titles, with the “Que Agonia” singer set to receive the Breakthrough Award and the K-pop quartet taking home Group of the Year. The Memphis rapper and former Eras Tour headliner are 2025’s Powerhouse Award recipient and Songwriter of the Year, respectively, while the country crooner will accept the Rulebreaker Award, the “Made for Me” artist will receive the Rising Star prize and the South African pop princess will take home the Impact Award.
Joining those women onstage will be Tanner Adell, Julia Michaels, Mickey Guyton, Kali Uchis, Madison Beer, Summer Walker and Zara Larsson, each of whom has been tapped to present.
Additional performers will also be announced in the coming weeks.
Hosted this year by Laverne Cox, the 2025 Women in Music ceremony will take place at YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Calif. Fans can purchase tickets to the event on Ticketmaster or tune in live on VIZIO WatchFree+.
The aforementioned performers aren’t the only influential women receiving awards: Erykah Badu is also set to receive the Icon Award, JENNIE of BLACKPINK will be recognized with the Global Force Award and Meghan Trainor will accept the Hitmaker Award. The announcement for 2025’s Woman of the Year is coming soon.
