Additional performances by P!nk, Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee, Little Big Town, SZA, and Childish Gambino have already been announced. In addition, Patti LuPone will join with Ben Platt for a special tribute to the music of Broadway during the program. 

James Corden of the Late Late Show will host the televised ceremony. 

The 2018 GRAMMY Awards will broadcast live from New York City's Madison Square Garden at 7:30 PM ET on CBS Sunday, January 28.
