In addition to the show getting a big dose of Big Sean, London electro-pop trio and 2015 Woodie Award nominee Years & Years made their U.S. TV debut with a chilling performance of "King." Chart-topping rock gods Fall Out Boy hit the stage and slayed with a medley of their own hits, while later being honored for their years of music superstardom and intense loyalty to their fans with the first-ever induction to the "Hall Of Wood." While Woodies veteran and host Jack Antonoff got the crowed pumped, Zoe Kravitz, Tove Lo, The Fat Jew, Marina & The Diamonds, Ellar Coltrane, A$AP Rocky, MisterWives and Rae Sremmurd doled out the coveted blocks of wood throughout the night. With so many up-and-coming artists acknowledged, killer performances and unforgettable persenters, the 2015 Woodie Awards were truly one for the books.
