Bruno Mars, one of the most celebrated artists in contemporary pop music, is confirmed to perform at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 1, 2026, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The announcement by the Recording Academy marks another major milestone in Mars’s remarkable career as he appears on music’s biggest night not only as a performer but also as a top nominee. 

The multi-Grammy-winning singer is nominated in three of the ceremony’s top categories — Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, all for his collaboration “APT.” with BLACKPINK’s Rosé.  While details of his performance setlist haven’t been disclosed, music fans worldwide are buzzing with speculation that Mars might spotlight “APT.” or even debut new material ahead of his forthcoming projects. 

Bruno Mars joins a star-studded lineup that also includes performances by Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Tyler, the Creator and several Best New Artist nominees.  The Grammys, broadcast live on CBS and streaming on platforms like Paramount+, will showcase a mix of established stars and emerging voices in music. 

Industry analysts note that Mars’s Grammy slot is not only a celebration of his ongoing creative renaissance but also a strategic moment in the build-up to his new music cycle. With fans eagerly awaiting his next album and tour announcements, his Grammy performance could serve as one of the year’s most memorable musical moments. 

As anticipation builds, listeners around the globe are tuning into the awards show to see if Mars’s “APT.” will secure wins alongside his live Grammy performance.
