Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, John Legend, Sheryl Crow, Coldplay singer Chris Martin and Lainey Wilson had the lists of artists who have been added to the performance lineup for Sunday’s Grammy Awards telecast. Other new additions announced Wednesday morning include 2025 Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo, Brad Paisley, John Legend, St. Vincent, Janelle Monae, Brittany Howard and Jacob Collier.
The telecast from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles will include a tribute to Quincy Jones, the legendary musical polymath who won 28 Grammys between the 1960s and the last decade. He was a key mentor to Wonder, Hancock and Collier, among many others.
Jones will be saluted separately from the show’s “In Memoriam” segment, which will pay tribute to other notable musicians who died within the past year. There will also be a tribute to Los Angeles in the wake of the recent devastating wildfires. It is unclear which of the newly added performers will be featured during the Jones tribute, the “In Memoriam” section and the tribute to Los Angeles.
In other Grammy news, Beyoncé — who has a field-leading 11 nominations this year — and Taylor Swift have both been confirmed to attend the telecast, where both will be vying for album of the year honors.
The winners in more than 80 of the 94 categories will be announced Sunday during the annual Grammy Premiere Ceremony, which will be livestreamed Sunday at 12:30 p.m. PT on grammy.com and the Grammy YouTube channel.
On Wednesday, the Recording Academy — under whose auspices the Grammys are presented — announced the lineup of performers and presenters for the Premiere Ceremony.
Performers will include Renée Fleming, Yolanda Adams, Joe Bonamassa, Angelique Kidjo, Wayne Brady, Joyce DiDonato, Béla Fleck, Taj Mahal, Deborah Cox, Scott Hoying, Muni Long, Kelli O’Hara and Kevin Puts.
Presenters will include sitar great Anoushka Shankar, whose two nominations this year are the 10th and 11th of her career. She’ll be joined by fellow presenters Rhiannon Giddens, Jimmy Jam, Queen Sheba, Wayne Brady, Scott Hoying and famed recording engineer Bob Clearmountain, whose home and recording studio were both decimated during this month’s Pacific Palisades wildfire.
