Another pack of performers has been announced for Sunday’s 61st annual Grammy Awards.

Atlanta's Chloe x Halle, fresh from a noteworthy performance at the Super Bowl and nominated for two awards, will now take the stage, as well as fellow Super Bowl alum Travis Scott.

Lady Gaga will perform with Mark Ronson, Dua Lipa will team with St. Vincent and, to honor the legacy of Aretha Franklin, the trio of Yolanda Adams, Fantasia and Andra Day will unleash their potent pipes.

Previously announced performers include MusiCares honoree Dolly Parton (who will also be honored when her songs are performed by Katy Perry, Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris and MusiCares hosts, Little Big Town); Cardi B, Camila Cabello, Post Malone, Brandi Carlile, Janelle Monae, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Shawn Mendes, J Balvin, Dan + Shay, Young Thug and Arturo Sandoval.

The ceremony will be hosted by Alicia Keys and air live from Los Angeles at 8 p.m. on CBS.

I’ll be on site and posting dispatches from the MusiCares red carpet Friday night and the Clive Davis pre-Grammy party on Saturday, followed by full Grammy coverage – especially about our many Georgia nominees - on Sunday.
