The 2025 ESPY Awards will take place live on July 16 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, hosted by Shane Gillis, and will feature performances by Clipse, Busta Rhymes, GELO, and Tobe Nwigwe.

Clipse is experiencing a career resurgence with their new album 'Let God Sort Em Out,' which is their first in nearly 16 years and features collaborations with Kendrick Lamar and John Legend.

The group will perform new material from their album at the ESPYs, following its release, with fans eager to see if they will perform hits or new songs.

The event will be broadcast on ABC and streamed on Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ the following day, continuing its tradition of high-profile musical acts and celebrity appearances.

The ESPYs celebrate outstanding sports achievements from the past year, recognizing individual and team accomplishments, and also serve as a fundraiser for the V Foundation for Cancer Research, which has raised over $265 million since 1993.

First responders David Walters and Erin Regan will receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service for their heroic efforts during the 2025 California wildfires.

Clipse's album 'Let God Sort Em Out' features collaborations with Kendrick Lamar and John Legend, and marks their first album since 2009, with the group set to perform on the national stage.

Gelo, also known as LiAngelo Ball, gained fame earlier in 2025 with his viral debut single 'Tweaker,' which expanded into NBA locker rooms and arena playlists, leading to a record deal with Def Jam.

Gelo is scheduled to release his debut album 'League of My Own' on July 18, 2025, featuring singles like 'Law N Order' and 'Booted Up,' after his success with 'Tweaker'.

Notable attendees and presenters include Olympic gold medalists like Simone Biles, Suni Lee, and Chloe Kim, along with stars such as Angela Bassett, Russell Wilson, and Damar Hamlin.

The ESPYs will feature performances by hip-hop artists including Clipse, Busta Rhymes, Gelo, and Tobe Nwigwe, continuing the event's tradition of integrating music and sports.

Honorees include Oscar Robertson, who will receive the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage, and Katie Schumacher-Cawley, who will be awarded the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance for leading her team to the NCAA Championship while battling stage 2 breast cancer.
