Quick context and what might still change

  • Lineups are finalized very close to showtime, but last‑minute changes, surprise guests, or added collaborations are always possible.
  • Pre‑telecast and non‑broadcast performances can feature additional artists not heavily promoted in the main billing, so the televised list is usually the “headline” slice of a larger performance schedule.

TL;DR: The 2026 Grammys performance slate is led by Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Clipse with Pharrell, ROSÉ, Tyler, The Creator, a big Best New Artist medley, and special tributes from Ms. Lauryn Hill, Reba McEntire with Brandy Clark and Lukas Nelson, plus a rock‑heavy Ozzy Osbourne segment featuring Post Malone, Slash, Chad Smith and more.
