A Milestone Ceremony in Los Angeles
Music’s biggest annual celebration — the Grammy Awards — is set to return on February 1, 2026, bringing together artists, songwriters, producers, and music fans around the world for an evening of performances, honors, surprises, and unforgettable moments. The ceremony will be held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, where industry veterans and rising stars alike will compete in categories spanning genres and styles.
This year marks the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, a longstanding tradition that honors excellence in recorded music from the eligibility period spanning August 31, 2024 through August 30, 2025. The show will be broadcast on CBS, with streaming available via Paramount+, ensuring audiences across the United States and beyond can tune in live.
Trevor Noah’s Final Turn as Host
For the sixth consecutive time, Trevor Noah will take the Grammy Awards stage as the official host — and this year’s show will be his final time in that role. Noah’s blend of humor, insight, and cultural commentary has helped define the tone of recent ceremonies, and his departure adds a deeper layer of significance to this year’s event.
Noah’s departure marks the end of a chapter in the Grammys’ hosting history, and fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see how the night balances entertainment with celebration. A change in host often brings shifts in pacing, energy, and audience connection, making this year’s show one of the most anticipated in recent memory.
Top Nominees and Record‑Breaking Potential
This year’s Grammy lineup features a mix of established superstars and genre‑bending acts poised to make history.
Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny has emerged as a frontrunner, with his album Debí Tirar Más Fotos in contention for Album of the Year — a nomination that could mark the first time a Spanish‑language album receives that honor. At the same time, Kendrick Lamar’s GNX could make him the first solo male rapper to win Album of the Year if he takes home the top prize.
Pop icons like Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter are also among the most talked‑about nominees. Bieber, whose latest work has earned nominations in key categories including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, will also perform at the ceremony — his first Grammy stage appearance in four years.
Meanwhile, artists such as Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Chappell Roan, and newcomer voices are making waves in key categories like Record of the Year and Best New Artist. This mix of familiar favorites and next‑generation talent highlights the Grammys’ evolving musical landscape.
Musical Performances and Presenters Set to Shine
Performances are always among the most memorable moments of any Grammy Awards show, and this year’s lineup promises a blend of high‑energy, emotional, and genre‑spanning set lists.
Beyond Justin Bieber’s highly anticipated performance, additional acts are expected to light up the stage as viewers tune in from around the world. Grammy organizers traditionally keep the full performance list tightly under wraps until moments before the broadcast to retain suspense and surprise.
Adding to the buzz, presenters from across the music and entertainment worlds will help announce winners and highlight key categories throughout the evening. Artists such as Harry Styles, Charli XCX, and Chappell Roan have been announced as presenters, bringing star power to the festivities and adding to the excitement leading up to the show.
