A whole lotta bacon is about to be thrown around at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards stage this year.

Nick Jonas just announced that he will be performing his latest single live at the awards on August 28.

The hit track "Bacon," off of his latest studio album Last Year Was Complicated, features Ty Dolla $ign—who will also be joining him on the Madison Square Garden stage.

This will be Nick's first time performing on the stage as a solo artist.

While the other Jonas (Joe), was nominated with DNCE for Best New Artist award, Nick didn't receive any nominations this year, and wasn't shy about expressing his disappointment on Twitter.

"Won't let this one thing get to me," he wrote. "I'm feeling so inspired and grateful these days. Gonna focus more on caring less about the small stuff."

Check out his VMA promo spot below, and catch his performance Sunday, August 28 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.
