The 2026 Grammy Awards performance roster is shaping up to be one of the most dynamic showcases in recent years, blending powerhouse pop stars with boundary‑pushing artists and emerging new voices. The 68th Annual Grammys, taking place on February 1 at Los Angeles’s Crypto.com Arena, will be hosted for another year by Trevor Noah as the music industry’s biggest night unfolds on national television.
Leading the performance lineup are major pop figures including Sabrina Carpenter, Lady Gaga, and Justin Bieber. Carpenter returns following a breakout Grammy season, while Gaga and Bieber bring decades of chart‑topping hits and loyal fanbases to the stage. Pharrell Williams and hip‑hop duo Clipse are also set to perform, further expanding the event’s musical range.
A highlight of this year’s ceremony will be a special segment featuring all eight Best New Artist nominees. Rising talents such as Addison Rae, Alex Warren, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Olivia Dean, SOMBR, and The Marías are slated to deliver a medley that celebrates fresh sounds and diverse backgrounds.
The event reflects the Recording Academy’s ongoing embrace of both established icons and emerging stars, pushing genre boundaries while honoring musical excellence. The Grammys have become more than an awards show; they’re a stage for cultural moments and cross‑genre collaborations that define broader trends in the music industry.
