The Recording Academy has announced that all artists nominated for this year's Best New Artist award are scheduled to deliver special performances during the forthcoming Grammy Awards ceremony. This highly anticipated segment will showcase the diverse talents of the music industry's newest breakout stars.
Scheduled for February 1, the Grammys telecast from the Crypto.com Arena will feature performances from acclaimed nominees including Olivia Dean, Leon Thomas, Alex Warren, Katseye, Addison Rae, Sombr, Lola Young, and The Marias. This announcement follows the recent news of Sabrina Carpenter's confirmed return to the Grammy stage for a second consecutive year, building on her successful debut performance last year.
Among the Best New Artist contenders, Leon Thomas leads with an impressive six nominations, including a nod for Album of the Year for his work 'Mutt' and Best R&B Song for 'Yes It Is.' Olivia Dean has also seen a significant surge in her career, evidenced by the high demand for tickets to her 'The Art of Loving Live' tour and her hit song 'Man I Need' charting at number four on the Hot 100. Alex Warren's track 'Ordinary' achieved remarkable success, dominating the Hot 100 for ten weeks.
The Grammy Awards broadcast is set for February 1 on CBS and Paramount+, commencing at 5 p.m. Trevor Noah will host the event for the final time, having taken on the role since the 2021 ceremony. This year's broadcast also marks CBS's last time airing the Grammys, as the event is slated to move to Disney next year.
The upcoming Grammy Awards promise to be a momentous occasion, celebrating both established and emerging musical talent. The inclusion of all Best New Artist nominees in a dedicated performance segment highlights the Academy's commitment to showcasing the future of music. Fans can look forward to an evening filled with captivating performances and significant milestones, marking a pivotal moment for these rising stars and the awards ceremony itself.
