Adele, Kendrick Lamar, the Weeknd to Perform at Grammys
- 8 years ago
Adele, Kendrick Lamar, the Weeknd and Little Big Town are among the initial wave of artists set to perform at the 58th Grammy Awards airing live nationwide on February 15th.
The To Pimp a Butterfly rapper leads this year's field with 11 nominations, including Album of the Year, where he'll face off against the Weeknd's Beauty Behind the Madness.
Little Big Town are up for two Grammys, including Best Country Album.
Adele's presence at this year's Grammys, however, is a little surprising: Although she shattered decades-old sales record with the release of her 25 , neither the album nor its debut smash single "Hello" are up for any awards since they arrived after the nomination eligibility date.
"This lineup of talented artists is just the beginning of what will, once again, prove to be music's biggest night."
Recording Academy CEO Neil Portnow said in a statement.
