The 68th Annual Grammy Awards are featuring some of the biggest popstars including Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and Sabrina Carpenter.

The 2026 Grammy Awards will be airing live on Feb. 1 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. A ton of superstars are ready to hit the stage few hours from now in different parts of the show.

Starting with the pre-show, formally known as the Premiere Ceremony, will be hosted by Darren Criss, as per the Grammy website. Criss will also be performing with his Maybe Happy Ending co-star Helen J Shen.

The pre-show will start on a high note with a collaborative performance by Grace Potter, Israel Houghton, Lila Iké, Maggie Rose, and Trombone Shorty.

The live performances in the Premiere Ceremony will be from Spiritbox, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, and Zara Larsson, adding to the night’s diverse musical lineup.

Who is performing at the 2026 Grammys?

Biber is returning to the Grammys to perform at the main event after 4 years. Carpenter, who appeared as an entertainer and winner onstage last year, will return to sing songs from her new album, Man's Best Friend.

Other highly anticipated performers' lists include Clipse, Pharrell Williams, and Lady Gaga, the Abracadabra singer, who received seven nods.

Moreover, new artists will also be under nighlight on the stage. All eight nominees in the Best New Artist category will collaborate on a medley, like previous years. The medley will include Addison Rae, Alex Warren, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Olivia Dean, SOMBR, and The Marías.

The In Memoriam segment of the event, which is dedicated to tributes honoring music legends who died in the past year, will be performed by Reba McEntire, Brandy Clark, and Lukas Nelson.

The other musical tributes planned feature Post Malone, who will pay a special tribute to legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne, who died in July 2025. Malone will sing in a collaboration with Slash and Duff McKagan from Guns N' Roses, along with the Red Hot Chili Peppers' drummer Chad Smith and Andrew Watt.

Moreover, Lauryn Hill will pay a singing tribute to D'Angelo and Roberta Flack.

But in truth, we are unsure what hell of a night this year the telecast holds for the audience. As one of the Grammy producers, Jesse Collins, teased what viewers can expect to PEOPLE.

"There's a couple people that we just knew once they said yes, that this is going to be a viral moment, the minute they touch the stage," he shared. "And so we're really excited about breaking the internet."
