One Direction have appeared in a new promo ahead of their performance at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards.
The lads will perform at the awards for the first time on September 6 along with the likes of Taylor Swift and Alicia Keys.
The video, posted online today, see 1D walking down a backstage corridor in the clip, as they talk about their debut VMA performance.
Niall, Louis, Zayn, Liam and Harry say: "Tonight, we take this stage for the first time. We're ready. Are you? This is the moment. "
"We're really looking forward to the VMAs," Liam told MTV.
"It's quite nerve-racking as well, because obviously there's been so many historical moments and stuff that have happened at the VMAs. Now we want to make a moment ourselves, but who knows?"
He added: "I think performing at the VMAs is such a huge occasion. I think it ranks up there with one of the best performances we'll do so far."
The likes of Rihanna and Drake are set to attend as both are nominated for a total of five awards including their collaborative single 'Take Care'.
Last year's big winner Katy Perry has picked up four nominations, while Beyonce, Coldplay and Jay-Z and Kanye West's 'Watch The Throne' all have three.
The Video of the Year category also sees nominations for 'Wide Awake' by Katy Perry, Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used To Know' and 'Bad Girls' by M.I.A.
One Direction have picked up nominations in the Best New Artist category and Best Pop Video but they will have to fight off Justin Bieber for that one!
