So it makes perfect sense that the O Music Awards 2 will pay musical tribute to Jobs at its October 31 blowout. The show, which will take place in Los Angeles, will feature a special musical nod to the man behind the iPod and iTunes, with a number of up-and-coming artists performing iconic songs in homage to Jobs’ huge contribution to digital music culture. MTV’s signature online awards show will also attempt to make it into the Guinness record books again by hosting the longest dance party in history , and there will be plenty of star wattage on hand to help celebrate should the dancers break the 55-hour barrier. The first slate of performers and presenters has been revealed, and it includes a mix of established stars and up-and-comers, including Kelly Clarkson, the Band Perry, Demi Lovato, Mac Miller, Midi Mafia and DJ Diamond Kuts. Additional performers and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks. The show, which celebrates the artists, innovators and fans impacting digital music culture, will be live-streamed from an undisclosed location in Los Angeles on October 31 beginning 11:30pm ET/ 8:30pm PT on OMusicAwards.com .
