Tyler, the Creator and Rosé to Perform at 2026 Grammy Awards

The lineup for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards broadcast this Sunday has expanded with two major performers. Joining the roster are rapper and producer Tyler, the Creator and singer-songwriter Rose. Both artists, recognized at Variety's Hitmakers event in December, will take the stage for separate live performances. Tyler, the Creator, a previous Grammy winner, is nominated for six awards this year, including the coveted Album of the Year for "Chromakopia." Rose, earning her first-ever nomination, is up for three Grammys for her work on the Bruno Mars collaboration "APT."

These additions complement an already eclectic list of confirmed talent, which spans from global superstars Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber to Sabrina Carpenter, the reunited duo Clipse, and Post Malone. The evening will also feature several special tribute segments. A rock homage to Ozzy Osbourne will see Post Malone performing with a band featuring iconic Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith. Separate tributes include an In Memoriam performance by Reba McEntire, Brandy Clark, and Lukas Nelson, while Ms. Lauryn Hill will honor the influential soul artist D'Angelo and the legendary Roberta Flack. Flack's 1973 classic "Killing Me Softly With His Song," which won Record of the Year at the 16th Grammys, remains one of the most covered songs in history. Presenters for the night include pop star Harry Styles and rapper Doechii.

Executive produced by Ben Winston, the 68th Grammy Awards will air live on CBS this Sunday, February 9th, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The ceremony marks the final hosting stint for comedian Trevor Noah, concluding a four-year run. His tenure is credited with bringing a more globally informed and politically adept humor to the broadcast, a shift from earlier hosts. Industry analysts suggest his exit creates an opportunity for the Recording Academy to further redefine the show's voice for a new era.

Prior to the main event, the majority of the awards—over 90 categories—will be presented during the Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony. This event will stream live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles at 12:30 p.m. PT on the official website, live.Grammy.com. In a forward-looking production shift, the Recording Academy has enlisted Fulwell Entertainment to produce the 2026 ceremony. Fulwell, co-founded by longtime Grammy producer Ben Winston and known for high-profile projects like "The Late Late Show with James Corden," is expected to bring its expertise in crafting engaging live television events to future broadcasts, signaling a continued focus on production value and broad audience appeal.
