This Sunday, MTV will be hosting the Video Music Awards, featuring Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Macklemore, Miley Cyrus and a bunch of other pop-stars. Did you shell out the $93.30 to see all of the hottest celebrities? No. Will you be waiting outside the Barclays Center, peeing your pants and crying while trying to spot Katy Perry or Bruno Mars? No. What will you be doing? Most likely, you will be on your couch or bed, staring at either your TV or computer, exhausted from the weekend. Why? Because we’ve put together a list of shows that will be sure to get you pumped and wipe you out by Sunday. We’ve not only included the regular shows, but some “escapes” and festivals as well. Have fun and get turnt up, just like Miley.
