The 66th annual Grammy Awards will be held on February 4 at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena. It will be aired live on CBS and Paramount+.
For Mitchell, who has nine Grammys, it will be the first time that she will be performing on the grandest stage of all, at 80 years old. For the 66th edition, she’s been nominated in the Best Folk Album category.
In 2022, Mitchell received a Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award, and was described as “one of the most important female recording artists of the rock era” and “a powerful influence on all artists who embrace diversity, imagination and integrity.”
22-time Grammy winner U2 will be giving a special performance from Sphere in Las Vegas. It will be the first-ever broadcast performance from the new venue.
Previously, U2 opened for the 2009 edition at Staples Center with a performance of “Get on Your Boots.”
