Justin Bieber is bringing Swag to the 2026 Grammy Awards. The artist joins the performance lineup for the awards ceremony scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 1. It will mark his first appearance at the show since performing “Peaches” alongside Giveon and Daniel Caesar in 2022.
In addition to Bieber, the 2026 Grammy Awards will also host performances from Clipse with Pharrell Williams, Sabrina Carpenter, and Best New Artist nominees the Marías, Addison Rae, Alex Warren, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, Sombr, Lola Young, and Olivia Dean. Additional performers will be announced leading up to the show. Past performers (and winners) Harry Styles and Doechii will also make appearances as presenters. The show will be hosted by Trevor Noah for the sixth and final time.
Bieber is nominated for four awards at this year’s ceremony including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Swag, Best Pop Solo Performance for “Daisies,” and Best R&B Performance for “Yukon.” For Album of the Year, he’ll face off against Bad Bunny, Carpenter, Clipse, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar, Thomas, and Tyler, the Creator.
The 31-year-old has 23 total career nominations at the Grammys and has won two. In 2016, Bieber and Jack Ü took home Best Dance/Electronic Recording for “Where Are Ü Now.” In 2021, he was awarded his second Grammy, a Best Country Duo/Group Performance win with Dan + Shay for their collaboration “10,000 Hours.”
Later this year, Bieber will headline Coachella. “It’s a groundbreaking move for a headliner, and it’s something he built entirely on his own,” a source close to Bieber told Rolling Stone last year about the gig, which was negotiated “directly” with festival promoter Goldenvoice. “Between headlining Coachella and the success of Swag, it’s clear this is the start of an exciting new era for Justin — one where he’s fully in the driver’s seat.”
