LOS ANGELES (CNS) – Sunday’s 67th annual Grammy Awards will include a salute to the legacy of the late Quincy Jones and a star-studded tribute to the spirit of Los Angeles, the Recording Academy announced Wednesday.
Performers will include Brad Paisley, Brittany Howard, Chris Martin, Cynthia Erivo, Herbie Hancock, Jacob Collier, Janelle Monáe, John Legend, Lainey Wilson, Sheryl Crow, St. Vincent and Stevie Wonder.
They’ll join previously announced stars Benson Boone, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Doechii, RAYE, Sabrina Carpenter, Shakira and Teddy Swims.
Comedian Trevor Noah will host the ceremony for the fifth consecutive year, from Crypto.com Arena. It will air live on CBS, and will stream on Paramount+.
Prior to the 5 p.m. PT telecast, 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 the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel and live.grammy.com.
The 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.
Officials 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.”
The Recording Academy urged the public to donate to the L.A. Fire Relief Effort at donor.musicares.org/page/lafirerelief.
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.
Since launching the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort To Support Music Professionals last week, the Recording Academy and MusiCares have raised and pledged more than $4 million in emergency aid to people in the music industry affected by the wildfires.
