Thirteen-time Grammy Award winner Pharrell Williams and acclaimed rap duo Clipse have been officially announced as performers for the 68th Grammy Awards, adding major excitement to the lineup for music’s biggest night.
The much-anticipated ceremony is scheduled to hold on February 1 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, where some of the world’s biggest stars will gather to celebrate outstanding achievements in music across genres.
Clipse, made up of brothers Pusha T and Malice, are enjoying a standout year at the Grammys, having secured five nominations for their critically praised project “Let God Sort Em Out.” The album has earned a nod in the prestigious Album of the Year category, placing the duo among the most talked-about contenders at this year’s awards.
In addition to Album of the Year, Clipse is also nominated for Best Rap Performance for “Chains & Whips,” Best Rap Song for “The Birds Don’t Sing,” Best Rap Album for “Let God Sort Em Out,” and Best Music Video for “So Be It.” The multiple nominations reflect the project’s strong impact both creatively and commercially, as well as its reception among critics and fans.
Pharrell Williams, who played a key role in the production and creative direction of “Let God Sort Em Out,” also received significant recognition from the Recording Academy. The Grammy-winning producer and artist earned four nominations tied to his contributions to the Clipse project, further cementing his influence on the album’s success.
The joint performance by Pharrell and Clipse is expected to be one of the highlights of the night, especially given the duo’s long-awaited reunion and the cultural weight of the album. Fans and industry insiders alike are anticipating a powerful onstage moment that blends classic hip-hop energy with modern production finesse.
Earlier announcements had already begun to build anticipation for the ceremony. American singer-songwriter and actress Sabrina Carpenter was previously revealed as the first confirmed performer for the awards night, setting the tone for a diverse and star-studded event.
The Recording Academy has also unveiled a special Best New Artist performance segment, featuring this year’s nominees in the category. Acts billed to perform during this segment include Addison Rae, Alex Warren, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, Olivia Dean, SOMBR, and The MarÃas. The segment is designed to spotlight emerging talent and introduce audiences to the next generation of music stars.
According to the Recording Academy, more performers are expected to be announced in the days leading up to the ceremony, suggesting that the final lineup will feature an even broader mix of established icons and rising acts.
