In anticipation of the highly awaited 66th annual GRAMMY Awards, the second set of performers has been announced, promising a night of musical brilliance at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Feb. 4.
Among the newly announced list of performers are GRAMMY winner Burna Boy — who is nominated in four categories this year Best Global Music Album and Best Global Music Performance, Best Melodic Rap Performance and Best African Music Performance.
GRAMMY nominee Luke Combs — who is nominated again this year for Best Country Solo Performance — and Travis Scott, whose album Utopia is up for Best Rap Album, are also set to take the stage during this year’s star-studded ceremony.
The trio will be joining an already stellar lineup of previously announced acts, which include current nominees and previous Best New Artist winners: Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, and Billie Eilish. The stage is set for an unforgettable evening with these chart-topping artists performing, and additional acts yet to be announced.
Eilish — who recently clinched the Best Original Song at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards for her track, “What Was I Made For?,” from the movie Barbie — is poised for a formidable GRAMMY night.
