Music’s biggest night is just around the corner — and it’s already lining up to be a star-studded event full of performances from the top nominees. Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, and Lady Gaga all lead the pack as nominees for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, but not all of them have been announced as performers. To keep things straight, here’s a comprehensive list of who will be taking the stage on Sunday night.
Sunday night is going to be a night of firsts for Rosé. Rosé will take stage for her first solo performance at the ceremony. The singer is also a first-time Grammy nominee, earning three nominations, including Record of the year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her Bruno Mars collaboration, “Apt.”
A mix of magic and mayhem — and the prospect of winning seven tiny record player statuettes — has paved the way for Lady Gaga to perform at the Grammy Awards. Mother Monster has not yet confirmed which song or songs she’ll sing, but given that “Abracadabra” is up for both Record and Song of the Year and “Disease” is contending for Best Pop Solo Performance, the odds are good it’s one of those.
Sabrina Carpenter will be gracing the Grammys stage for a second consecutive year. The singer is nominated for six awards, including Album of the Year for Man’s Best Friend, and Song of the Year for “Manchild.”
Justin Bieber is making his grand return to the Grammys stage for the first time in four years. The singer is up for four awards at this year’s ceremony, including Album of the Year for Swag, Best Pop Solo Performance for “Daisies,” and Best R&B Performance for “Yukon.”
Just like they did last year, each of the Best New Artist nominees will perform at the 68th Annual Grammys. Last year, the performance was a medley, where each artist showcased their biggest track.
Clipse and Pharrell Williams are linking up once again, this time to perform at the 2026 Grammys. Both are nominated for Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out, which Pharrell produced. The LP, which Rolling Stone named the sixth best album of 2025, is nominated for five Grammys: Album of the Year, Best Rap Album, Best Rap Performance for “Chains & Whips,” Best Rap Song for “The Birds Don’t Sing,” and Best Music Video for “So Be It.”
Tyler, the Creator will return to the Grammy stage this year. The rapper has had an phenomenal run in 2025: a sold-out world tour for his eighth studio album Chromakopia — with Grammy nods for Album of the Year, Best Rap Album and Best Album Cover — and a critically acclaimed surprise summer album in Don’t Tap the Glass, which garnered a nomination for Best Alternative Music Album.
This year’s in memoriam performance is fully stacked to honor the legends who died since the last Grammys ceremony. Reba McEntire will be joined by Brandy Clark and Lukas Nelson during the initial tribute, while Guns N’ Roses’ Slash and Duff McKagan will team up with Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith along with Post Malone and producer Andrew Watt to honor the Ozzy Osbourne in a tribute performance. Lauryn Hill will also perform during the in memoriam to honor D’Angelo and Roberta Flack.
