Feb 7 2017 - 9:00pm

The Grammy Awards are mere days away, which means it's only a matter of time before we find ourselves invigorated by some of the world's best music artists. While we've already seen all the nominations [1] and pondered who will win album of the year [2], there's one other aspect of the show that hasn't completely been unveiled: the list of performers! Luckily for us, news about the 2017 acts is trickling in, so we're rounding up and presenting all the confirmed artists. If you thought Adele's presence [3] was impressive, just wait until you see who else is slated to sing.

  1. Adele: As we mentioned above, Adele is officially confirmed to belt out a song on stage. The real question is, what song will she sing?!
  2. Beyoncé: In early February Entertainment Tonight confirmed that Beyoncé will perform [4] at the Grammys, fresh off her second surprise pregnancy announcement [5]. Suffice it to say, we're unable to contain ourselves.
  3. Lady Gaga [6] and Metallica: Even though Metallica was already announced, Gaga didn't join until the week of the ceremony [7]. It's gonna be lit.
  4. Kelsea Ballerini and Lukas Graham: According to a recent press release, the duo is about to make their Grammys stage debut!
  5. Demi Lovato [8], Andra Day, and Tori Kelly: A recent press release reveals that these three will be paying tribute to the music of the Bee Gees. That's a lot of powerful voices.
  6. Katy Perry [9]: The Recording Academy officially announced on Twitter [10] in February that Katy will also be taking the stage for a performance.
  7. The Weeknd and Daft Punk: The pair will join forces [11] to sing The Weeknd's new song, "I Feel It Coming." Daft Punk is also featured on the same song on The Weeknd's new album, Starboy.
  8. Alicia Keys [12] and Maren Morris: In addition to announcing The Weeknd and Daft Punk, this collaboration was also added to the lineup.
  9. Anderson .Paak, A Tribe Called Quest, and Dave Grohl: The singer-rapper-musician, hip hop veterans, and rock legend will all take the stage together.
  10. Bruno Mars: In January, the Grammys made an official announcement that Mars is expected to appear [13].
  11. John Legend [14] and Cynthia Erivo: The two will join forces for this year's "In Memoriam" segment.
  12. Chance the Rapper: Chance the Rapper was added to the growing list [15] at the beginning of February.
  13. Little Big Town: The country band, who recently collaborated with Taylor Swift [16] on "Better Man," will perform.
  14. Sturgill Simpson: Simpson was announced with the new crop of performers at the beginning of February.
  15. William Bell and Gary Clark Jr.: The soul singer and blues musician will pair up for a special performance during the night.
  16. Carrie Underwood [17]: Because what would the Grammys be without a little Underwood-brand country twang?
  17. Keith Urban [18]: We're almost just as excited to see Nicole Kidman [19] singing along in the audience. Almost.
