Justin Bieber is officially set to return to the Grammy Awards stage in 2026, marking one of his most high-profile live appearances in years. The global pop star will perform at Music’s Biggest Night after a long break from Grammy performances, reigniting excitement among fans and industry watchers alike.
Bieber enters the 2026 ceremony with four nominations, including album of the year for Swag, his first full-length release since Justice. The album also earned him a nod for best pop vocal album, while individual tracks secured nominations in both pop and R&B performance categories — a rare crossover achievement that highlights his continued genre-spanning appeal.
Despite being one of the most frequently nominated artists of his generation, Bieber’s Grammy wins remain relatively limited, adding extra intrigue to his return. Over the years, he has built a strong relationship with the Recording Academy, collecting dozens of nominations across pop, dance, country, and R&B fields, yet only a handful of trophies.
What makes this appearance even more notable is Bieber’s recent low public profile. Live performances have been scarce since his last Grammy stage moment in 2022, making the 2026 show one of his most anticipated televised performances in recent memory. His upcoming headline slot at Coachella later this year has already fueled speculation about a broader comeback era.
The 68th Grammy Awards will also feature performances from several major names, including Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse, and Pharrell Williams. In addition, all eight nominees for best new artist will share the stage in a special segment, continuing a format introduced last year that spotlighted emerging talent.
The ceremony will air live on February 1, 2026, with longtime host Trevor Noah returning for his final year as master of ceremonies. The event also marks a transitional moment for the Grammys, as it concludes the show’s long-standing broadcast partnership before a major network shift next year.
With Bieber back in the spotlight, multiple chart-topping artists on the lineup, and several historic milestones ahead, the 2026 Grammy Awards are shaping up to be one of the most talked-about ceremonies in years.
