NEW YORK, NY MAY 2, 2013 – The 2013 Billboard Music Awards announces more star-studded acts to their already loaded performers list, but EDM is under represented despite its meteoric rise this year States side. Although more musical acts will be announced in the coming weeks. We’re hoping EDM DJs besides David Guetta will be included to this year’s awards show ceremony. The broadcast, executive produced by Don Mischer, will air live from Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on SUNDAY, MAY 19 (8:00–11:00 pm, ET) on the ABC Television Network, sponsored by Chevrolet, Las Vegas, Samsung Galaxy S® 4 and Buffalo David Bitton.
