The 59th Annual Grammy Awards will take place in two weeks and other than who will attend or win, all eyes are expected to be on the live performances.
How the Grammys’ tone-deaf categories no longer reflect the modern world
Within the past couple of weeks, artists like Bruno Mars, Adele, John Legend, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban, and Metallica have been announced. Now, the latest round of guest performers have been unveiled and among the lineup include A Tribe Called Quest, Anderson .Paak and Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl. As Pitchfork reports, all three acts will perform together for a special set at the ceremony. Also part of the star-studded bill are The Weeknd and Daft Punk, who have been riding high off their Starboy collaborations. This will mark the French robots’ first live performance at the Grammys since blazed the 2014 ceremony with a special set featuring Pharrell and Stevie Wonder.
Other names set for the ceremony are Alicia Keys and Maren Morris, who will also be performing together. There has also been talks of an all-star Prince tribute that would more than likely feature some big names.
As the momentum heading into Music’s Biggest Night builds, James Corden will host the 2017 Grammys on February 12, broadcasting live from the Staples Center at 8 p.m. EST. For a full list of the nominations, head here.
