Multi-Grammy winner Bruno Mars will take the stage at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Sunday night, the Recording Academy announced on Friday, but what exactly his performance will be has not been revealed.
He is up for three Grammy Awards this year — Record and Song of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance — all for the song “APT.,” his duet with Blackpink singer Rose, who also has been announced as a performer.
However, the fact that the two artists were announced separately could mean that he’ll be doing something else as well (Pharrell Williams and the Clipse, who worked together on the long-running duo’s latest album “Let God Sort ‘Em Out,” were announced as performers simultaneously).
Earlier this month Mars released “I Just Might,” the first single from his new album “The Romantic,” due in Feb. 27.
Previously announced performers also include Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Tyler, the Creator, Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse and Pharrell Williams, Post Malone, Reba McEntire, Katseye, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Olivia Dean, Addison Rae, the Marias and Alex Warren.
Reba McEntire, Brandy Clark and Lukas Nelson will perform during the In Memoriam segment during this Sunday’s Grammy Awards, while Ms. Lauryn Hill will perform in honor of D’Angelo and Roberta Flack and a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne will feature Post Malone with Watt, Slash, Duff McKagan and Chad Smith.
Harry Styles and Doechii have been tapped as presenters; more performers and presenters will be announced in the coming days.
The 68th Grammy Awards are scheduled to air live on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. ET. Trevor Noah will host the ceremony for the sixth consecutive year, and will conclude his run as this year will be his final time emceeing the event.
Prior to the big show, the Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony will be broadcast live from the Peacock Theater at 12:30 p.m. PT and will be streamed live on live.Grammy.com.
The 2026 Grammy Awards will be produced by Fulwell Entertainment for the Recording Academy. Ben Winston, Raj Kapoor, Jesse Collins, and Trevor Noah are executive producers.
