Justin Bieber is set to make his first major public performance in four years at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 1, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The pop star, who is nominated for four awards this year, will take the stage following a period of relative quiet, during which he focused on family life with wife Hailey Bieber and raising their young son, Jack Blues.
Bieber's nominations this year include Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Swag, Best Pop Solo Performance for "Daisies," and Best R&B Performance for "Yukon." This marks his third career nomination for Album of the Year, following Purpose in 2017 and the deluxe edition of Justice in 2022. With a total of 27 Grammy nominations to date, Bieber has previously won two awards, for Best Dance/Electronic Recording in 2016 and Best Country Duo/Group Performance in 2021.
This appearance at the Grammys follows Bieber's canceled 2023 Justice World Tour and health challenges, including Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which caused him to pause touring after performing at Rock in Rio in September 2022. While he performed briefly in
2024 during the NHL All-Star Player Draft in Toronto, the 2026 Grammys will be his first major live public performance in the U.S. since then.
Bieber will join a lineup of performers that includes Best New Artist nominees Addison Rae, Alex Warren, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Olivia Dean, Sombr, and The Marías, as well as Clipse and Pharrell Williams, Sabrina Carpenter, and additional acts to be announced closer to the event. Past performers Harry Styles and Doechii are scheduled to appear as presenters.
The 68th Grammy Awards will be hosted by Trevor Noah for the sixth and final consecutive year, airing live on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and streaming on Paramount+. Fulwell Entertainment is producing the ceremony for the Recording Academy, with Ben Winston, Raj Kapoor, Jesse Collins, and Noah serving as executive producers.
This year's Grammy performance marks a new chapter for Bieber, showcasing material from both parts of his latest album, Swag and Swag II, and signaling a return to the spotlight as he continues to rebuild his team and career.
