LOS ANGELES – Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter are among the acts who will perform during the 67th annual Grammy Awards ceremony, the Recording Academy has announced.
Also set to take the stage are Benson Boone, Charli xcx, Doechii, RAYE, Shakira and Teddy Swims.
Comedian and television personality Trevor Noah will host the ceremony for the fifth consecutive year.
The event will be held Feb. 2 at Crypto.com Arena. The Recording Academy has juggled the schedule for various events during Grammy Week, including cancellations of some gatherings, due to the impact of the Los Angeles-area wildfires.

The Academy also announced that the Grammy ceremony will double as a fundraising effort “to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours.”
Previously, the Academy and its MusiCares charitable arm launched a relief program to support music creators and professionals impacted by the crisis, making a pledge of $1 million to begin the effort.
As a result of additional contributions, the LA Fire Relief Effort has already distributed over $2 million in emergency aid to those most in need, the academy said in Monday’s letter.
The Recording Academy will be “raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours,” CEO Harvey Mason Jr. and Board of Trustees Chair Tammy Hurt said in a letter sent to Recording Academy members on Monday.
“In challenging times, music has the power to heal, comfort, and unite like nothing else. The Grammys will not only honor the artistry and achievements of our music community but also serve as a platform to amplify the spirit of resilience that defines this great city of Los Angeles.”
The Recording Academy has urged the public to donate to the LA Fire Relief Effort.
The Grammy Awards will air live on CBS, and will stream on Paramount+. (With CNS report)
