It's THE music awards ceremony of the year! The Grammys are happening this weekend and here's what you need to know.
When are The Grammys on?
This Sunday! Feb 12th at 8pm. The venue? The Staples centre in LA.
Who’s performing?
It's a fairly solid line up! Beyonce is rumoured to be knocking out a tune, as is Lady Gaga. In a fairly unlikely pairing, it seems Gaga will return to the stage after her Super Bowl performance alongside Metallica! Katy Perry will also be performing, as will Kanye (well.. maybe)
Adele, John Legend, Daft Punk, Bruno Mars and The Weeknd will also be rocking out some tunes. Nice.
Who’s the host?
James Corden continues his domination of American media and takes over as host this year. He's taken over from LL Cool J who has done the last 5 years..... we won't be seeing LL Cool J on Carpool Karaoke anytime soon then.
Where can I watch the awards night?
In America, the Grammys are aired on CBS. It is also available on the Grammys website.. although it will be 4am start time here in Ireland! You will be able to watch a 90 minute highlights package on RTE 2 on Monday 13th February at 9:30pm!
