Adele is set to cap off an absurdly successful 2015 with a performance at the Grammy Awards next month.
Kendrick Lamar, the Weeknd and Little Big Town—all of whom are nominated for numerous awards—will also take the stage.
"This lineup of talented artists is just the beginning of what will, once again, prove to be music's biggest night," Recording Academy CEO Neil Portnow told the Associated Press in a statement.
Adele's most recent album, 25, was released in November and broke numerous sales records within weeks of its release. It dropped too late to be eligible for this year's awards, however.
Kendrick Lamar received eight nominations, including album of the year, for his acclaimed rap opus To Pimp a Butterfly. The Weeknd received seven nominations, also including album of the year, while Little Big Town is up for best country album and best performance by a country duo or group.
The Grammy ceremony is scheduled to take place on February 15. It will air live for both East and West coast time zones for the first time in its history.
