Green Day [ tickets ] and Pink [ tickets ] will return to the MTV Video Music Awards this year, both scheduled to perform songs from their recent releases at the Sept. 13 New York City event.

Pink, who at last year's VMA's sang a live rendition of "So What" from her October release "Funhouse," will select another track from the multi-platinum album to perform at Radio City Music Hall.

Green Day, slated to appear for the first time since 2005, will perform a song from the alt-rockers' new album, "21st Century Breakdown." Three tracks from the record--"21 Guns," "East Jesus Nowhere" and "Know Your Enemy"--are now available for download for use in the "Rock Band" video game.

Pink and Green Day join previously announced performers Taylor Swift and Muse, while Katy Perry, Ne-Yo and "Gossip Girl" actor Chace Crawford are the first three celebrity presenters to be announced.

The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, which will return to New York City for the 14th time in the show's history, will be hosted by British comedian/actor Russell Brand for the second consecutive year.
