While the Grammys are arguably losing their cool - Kanye West and Drake are not attending this year’s ceremony while Frank Ocean didn’t make his album eligible - the awards still bring in huge name performers.

Already, the likes of Adele, Bruno Mars and Metallica have been announced for the ceremony. The Grammys has since announced numerous new acts, including Daft Punk and The Weeknd, who will perform their collaboration ‘Starboy’.

Daft Punk are no strangers to the Grammys, having last performed in 2014 following the release of Random Access Memories. However, fans have been eagerly awaiting new material from the duo: could this performance signal their return?

Also performing at the ceremony will be Anderson .Paak, A Tribe Called Quest, and Dave Grohl, who will combine together to form a hip-hop-orientated supergroup. Maren Morris and Alicia Keys will also play together.

Other artists previously announced not already mentioned are John Legend, Carrie Underwood, and Keith Urban. Viral-video hitmaker James Corden will be hosting the event.
