Less than two remain before the biggest night in music occurs with the 65th annual Grammy Awards.  On January 27, the Recording Academy announced the first group of artists that will be performing on the Grammy stage.

Latin music star Bad Bunny, Mary J Blige, Brandi Carlile, Luke Combs, Steve Lacy, Lizzo, Kim Petras, and Sam Smith will give a performance.  Trevor Noah will be hosting the gala event.

More live performance announcements will be made in the coming days.
