2016 Grammy Performers: Kendrick, Adele, The Weeknd & More

January 20, 2016

We’re three weeks away from the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, the first time the ceremony will air live on the West coast, and the Recording Academy has announced the list of performers for the Feb. 15 awards show in anticipation.

Ten-time Grammy winner Adele will perform at the ceremony, because of course she will. We can’t spin the radio dial without landing on “Hello,” so we may as well embrace it. Also appearing is Kendrick Lamar – this year’s most-nominated artist with 11 nods. He performed with Imagine Dragons at the 2014 Grammys, greatly outshining the pander-rockers.

Additionally, Little Big Town and drug-rape advocate The Weeknd will perform, with two and seven nominations, semi-respectively.

The Grammys air Monday, Feb. 15, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
