The excitement surrounding the upcoming Grammy Awards continues to build as additional performers have been announced. Tyler, the Creator and Rose, both honored at Variety’s 2025 Hitmakers event in December, are set to take the stage on Sunday, although they will not perform together.
Tyler, the Creator, who earned the title of Variety’s Hitmakers Innovator of the Decade, is a prominent contender this year with six Grammy nominations. His accolades include Album of the Year for “Chromakopia,” as well as nods for Best Alternative Music Album (“Don’t Tap the Glass”), Best Rap Performance (“Darling, I”), Best Rap Song (“Sticky”), and Best Rap Album (“Chromakopia”).
On the other hand, Rose, a first-time nominee named Variety’s Global Hitmaker of the Year, is recognized for her collaboration with Bruno Mars on the single “APT.” She is nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
The roster of performers for this year’s Grammys is impressive, featuring previously announced acts such as Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse with Pharrell Williams, Post Malone, Reba McEntire, Katseye, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Olivia Dean, Addison Rae, the Marias, and Alex Warren.
In addition, Reba McEntire, Brandy Clark, and Lukas Nelson will participate in the In Memoriam segment, while Ms. Lauryn Hill will pay tribute to D’Angelo. A performance honoring Ozzy Osbourne will feature Post Malone alongside notable musicians including Watt, Slash, Duff McKagan, and Chad Smith.
Harry Styles and Doechii are set to join the lineup as presenters, with more performers and presenters to be revealed in the days leading up to the event.
The highly anticipated 68th Grammy Awards will air live on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, with Trevor Noah returning as host for his sixth consecutive year, marking his final appearance in this role. Before the main show, the Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony will be streamed live from the Peacock Theater starting at 12:30 p.m. PT.
Looking ahead, the 2026 Grammy Awards will be produced by Fulwell Entertainment for the Recording Academy, with executive producers including Ben Winston, Raj Kapoor, Jesse Collins, and Trevor Noah. The lineup of talent and the exciting presentations promise a memorable night celebrating the best in music.
