Seven artistes will be performing at the show: Brothers Osborne, BTS, Brandi Carlile, Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X with Jack Harlow, and Olivia Rodrigo.

However, rapper Kanye West has reportedly been barred from performing at the Grammy Awards due to his “concerning online behaviour”. The rapper – who is up for five awards this year – has not been confirmed as a performer at the ceremony.

Meanwhile, Jungkook, the youngest member of BTS, had tested positive for COVID-19, but will still be available for BTS' scheduled performance.
