Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter and more have been announced as performers for this year’s edition of the Grammys.

The 68th Grammy Awards ceremony is set to take place on February 2 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. Trevor Noah will be returning to host the ceremony for fifth consecutive time. The Recording Academy also revealed that Noah will serve as a producer for the ceremony.

Other performers include Billie Eilish – who performed ‘What Was I Made For?’ from Barbie at last year’s Grammys – Doechii, RAYE, Shakira, Teddy Swims and Benson Boone. Eilish, Roan, XCX and Carpenter are also all nominated in the same category for Album Of The Year at the annual ceremony.

Doechii has snagged four nominations for Best Rap Performance, Best New Artist, Best Rap Album and Best Remixed Recording. Raye bagged herself two nods at this year’s ceremony in the categories for Best New Artist and Songwriter of the Year, Non-Classical. Shakira and Teddy Swims and Benson earned one nomination, with the former for Best Latin Album and the latter two for Best New Artist.

Elsewhere, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. confirmed that the ceremony will proceed as planned despite the destruction that has struck Los Angeles earlier in the year.

Since the devastating wildfires began on January 7, over 180,000 residents of Los Angeles were forced to evacuate their homes. To date, 27 confirmed deaths have been reported, with over 20 people reported missing.

However, Mason Jr. shared that the 2025 Grammys will double as a fund-raising event, the Recording Academy and MusiCares have launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort, and are donating US$1million to “provide both immediate relief and long-term support to individuals and families in the music industry facing displacement and loss due to the disaster.”

The 2025 Grammy nominations were announced back in November, with The Beatles, Eilish, Roan, XCX, Carpenter, Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift competing for Record of the Year.

Securing 11 nominations, Beyoncé has officially become the most Grammy-nominated artist in the history of the award show. She was previously tied with her husband Jay-Z for a total of 88 nominations but following the announcement of the 67th annual Grammy Awards noms, the ‘Crazy In Love’ singer has earned a total of 99 nominations throughout her career. Back in 2023, Beyoncé broke the record for most Grammy wins of all time, with 32 trophies to her name.
