Singer set for first major live performance since 2022, earns four nominations
January 29, 2026: Global pop star Justin Bieber is set to make a much-anticipated return to the stage at the Grammy Awards 2026, marking his first major public performance since 2022. The announcement has sparked excitement among fans, as Bieber has largely stayed away from large-scale live appearances in recent years. His return is expected to be one of the highlights of the awards night.
Bieber has received four Grammy nominations this year, including album of the year for Swag, his first studio release since 2021’s Justice. He is also nominated in the best pop vocal performance, best pop vocal album, and best R&B performance categories, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Recording Academy has also confirmed performances by artists such as Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse and Pharrell Williams, along with a special segment showcasing all eight best new artist nominees.
The Grammy Awards 2026 will air live on Sunday on CBS and Paramount+ from 5 pm, marking the final year of the ceremony’s long-standing broadcast partnership with CBS before it moves to Disney next year. This edition will also be the last to be hosted by comedian Trevor Noah, who concludes a six-year run as the show’s master of ceremonies, bringing an end to a notable chapter in Grammy history.
