The first round of performers announced for the 57th Annual Grammy Awards contains some expected nominees – Eric Church, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran – and a couple of veterans who will try to remind viewers of the relevance.

Madonna, a seven-time Grammy winner, will take the stage, which makes complete sense given the March 10 release of her "Rebel Heart" album.

Hard rockers AC/DC will also show the kids how it’s done with a performance that will help promote their new album, “Rock or Bust.”

Country rocker Church is up for four awards, while Sheeran is vying for three and Grande for a pair.

The Grammys will air live at 8 p.m. Feb. 8 on CBS.
