More Performers For Grammy Nominations Concert Live!!

The upcoming one-hour, double exclamation point concert special has added performances from four-time Grammy winner Rihanna, seven-time Grammy winner Usher, and The Band Perry.    

The concert will be the fourth time the nominations are revealed live on primetime television. “The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! – Countdown To Music’s Biggest Night” takes place Nov. 30 at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles. The show will air on CBS from 10-11 p.m. EST/PST.

Previously announced performers are Lady Gaga, Jason Aldean, Ludacris, Lupe Fiasco and Sugarland. LL Cool J will return as the show’s host. More performers and presenters will be added soon.

Grammy Awards organizers promise the Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! will also feature “a special announcement regarding a historic band reunion set to take place on the Grammy stage in February 2012.” Earlier this month the official Grammys Twitter account sent out a cryptic tweet about the reunion, saying, “Does this hit make u wanna “Jump” & “Dance the Night Away.” Any Van Halen fan would know that the tweet was oh so subtly alluding to the band’s 1984 and 1979 hit singles.

After the live telecast wraps up, The Band Perry will take the stage once again to treat ticketholders to an exclusive concert.

Tickets for the Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! are on sale now. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Grammy Museum. 

The 54th annual Grammy Awards airs live from Staples Center in Los Angeles Feb. 12 on CBS.
