Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX and more have been confirmed to perform at the Grammy Awards.
The prestigious music awards ceremony will go ahead as planned at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 2, despite the ongoing wildfires, with a “renewed sense of purpose” considering the disaster.
Benson Boone, Doechii, Raye, Sabrina Carpenter, Shakira, and Teddy Swims complete the first lineup announcement, with more names set to be added in due course.
Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said: “The upcoming Grammy Awards won’t just be about celebrating and honouring the best in music this year.
They will also show how the power of music can help rebuild, uplift and support those in need. We are thrilled that so many artists in our community are banding together at this time to show support for their fellow music makers and others impacted by the recent wildfires.”
All the performers confirmed so far are nominees.
Comedian Trevor Noah is hosting the ceremony for the fifth consecutive year.
