The group joins a star-studded list of artists including Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish
U2 is set to perform at next week's upcoming Grammy Awards broadcast from the Sphere in Las Vegas, the band announced Friday.
The show will mark the first broadcast from the high-tech venue, which opened last fall with a U2 residency as the band played their 1991 album Achtung Baby in full live. This residency is still ongoing and will be completed in March. So far, U2 is the only group to have performed at the Sphere, although Phish is expected to become the second group with four nights of shows starting in April.
The segment will also include an awards presentation. U2, 22-time Grammy winners, last played the awards six years ago, with Bono and The Edge joining Kendrick Lamar to headline the 2018 ceremony. The band also performed “Get Out of Your Own Way” that year.
The band joins a previously announced star-studded line-up that includes Dua Lipa, Burna Boy, Billie Eilish, Luke Combs, Travis Scott, Olivia Rodrigo and Billy Joel. The Piano Man, who will release a new song shortly before the ceremony, will play the Grammys for the first time in 20 years. Along with Joel, U2 are the only other artists listed so far not nominated for a Grammy this year.
The show will air Sunday, February 4th on CBS and Paramount Plus at 8:00 PM ET. Trevor Noah will once again host the Grammys for his fourth year in a row.
