The Academy confirmed Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X with Jack Harlow, BTS, Brandi Carlile, and Brothers Osborne will perform on music’s biggest night, per Variety.
All of the 2022 performers announced so far have also been nominated for multiple awards. Rodrigo and Eilish are up for seven awards this year including Album of the Year and Song of the Year. Lil Nas X is up for five, while Harlow is in contention for two thanks to his work on the former’s debut album Montero—Best Melodic Rap Performance and Album of the Year.
Six-time Grammy winner Carlile is in the running for five awards including Record of the Year and Song of the Year. BTS is up for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Butter,” and Brothers Osborne are nominated for Best Country Album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
The 64th annual Grammys will be hosted by Trevor Noah and take place live at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 3. The ceremony will be available to stream on Paramount+ and broadcast live on CBS. The show was postponed from its original January date due to concerns related to COVID-19. This marks the second year in a row the Grammys have been postponed due to the pandemic, as a 2021 spike of coronavirus cases in California forced the awards to be pushed back to March 14.
