The most emotional performance of the night will likely be the tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on July 22, 2025, at age 76. This segment brings together rock royalty, including Slash and Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses and Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers, underscoring Osbourne’s cross-generational impact.

Post Malone, who collaborated with Osbourne on ‘Take What You Want’ and ‘It’s a Raid', joins Andrew Watt, Osbourne’s close collaborator and producer on his final two albums. The tribute is expected to blend reverence with raw power, true to the Prince of Darkness himself.

With Trevor Noah set to host the night for a sixth time, the ceremony's performing list also shifts.

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga returns to the Grammy stage in 2026, continuing a history of unpredictable, era-defining performances. In 2026, her songs 'Abracadabra' and 'Disease' received three nominations, though it remains unclear which track she will perform. Gaga’s Grammy performances are rarely about playing it safe, so it is better to wait than to speculate about what she will pull off. 

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber’s 2026 performance marks his first Grammy stage appearance since 2022, a milestone that mirrors his long evolution in the industry. This year, Bieber is nominated in four categories, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Swag. His Grammy history dates back to 2011, when he first appeared as a teenage breakout star. 

ROSÉ & Bruno Mars

ROSÉ makes history in 2026 as the first solo K-pop artist to perform at the Grammys, sharing the stage with Bruno Mars. Their collaboration ‘APT.’ is nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, making the performance both celebratory and competitive. He and Lady Gaga won this same category in 2025 for ‘Die With a Smile.’ 

Sabrina Carpenter

Sabrina Carpenter returns to the Grammy stage after her 2025 debut, where she performed a jazzy medley of ‘Espresso’ and ‘Please Please Please.’ That breakout moment firmly established her as a live performer, not just a streaming powerhouse. In 2026, Carpenter’s song ‘Manchild’ is nominated for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year, making it the likely centerpiece of her performance. 

Ms. Lauryn Hill: Roberta Flack & D’Angelo Tributes

Ms. Lauryn Hill, an eight-time Grammy winner, will lead a tribute honoring Roberta Flack and D’Angelo, both of whom passed away in 2025. Hill’s connection to both artists is deeply personal and musical. Her cover of Flack’s ‘Killing Me Softly’ with The Fugees became a global phenomenon. Meanwhile her collaboration with D’Angelo dates back to 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.' 

Tyler, The Creator

With five nominations in 2026, including Album of the Year for CHROMAKOPIA, Tyler, The Creator arrives at the Grammys with serious momentum. His work this year features collaborations across genres and generations. Given the album’s guest list, including Daniel Caesar and Lil Wayne there is strong speculation that Tyler will not be alone onstage. His performances are known for visual ambition and unpredictability, making this one to watch closely.

Clipse & Pharrell Williams

Clipse’s return to the Grammy stage is tied to their first album in 16 years, 'Let God Sort Em Out', which is nominated in four categories, including Album of the Year and Best Rap Album. Produced by longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams, the album reconnects Pusha T and No Malice with their roots. While ‘Chains & Whips’ is the expected performance, fans are also hoping for a nod to ‘Grindin.’

Best New Artist Showcase: KATSEYE, Addison Rae & More

After positive reception in 2025, the Grammys are bringing back the Best New Artist medley. All nominees, including Addison Rae, Alex Warren, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Olivia Dean, SOMBR, and The Marías will perform.

For groups like KATSEYE, this marks their Grammy performance debut. The showcase remains one of the best windows into the future of mainstream music.
