The 2026 Grammy Awards will include a special tribute honoring the late Ozzy Osbourne during the live broadcast on Sunday, Feb. 1.
Organizers confirmed that a high-profile lineup will take the stage for the performance, including Post Malone, Duff McKagan, Slash, Chad Smith, and Andrew Watt.
While the exact songs have not been announced, all five musicians share strong creative ties with Osbourne. Watt produced Ozzy’s final two albums and worked closely with McKagan and Smith on those recordings. Post Malone previously collaborated with Osbourne on tracks from Ordinary Man, while Slash contributed to both earlier and later sessions in Ozzy’s career.
Osbourne, who won five Grammy Awards from 12 nominations, passed away last July shortly after performing his farewell concert. The tribute is expected to be one of the most emotional moments of the evening.
The ceremony will be held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and will air on CBS, with streaming available on Paramount Plus.
Earlier in the day, rock and metal fans can also catch performances at the Grammy Premiere Ceremony. Spiritbox is set to perform while competing for Best Metal Performance with their song “Soft Spine.”
Other artists scheduled for the Premiere Ceremony include Darren Criss, Helen J. Shen, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Zara Larsson, Grace Potter, Israel Houghton, Lila Iké, Maggie Rose, and Trombone Shorty.
The Premiere Ceremony will stream live through the Recording Academy’s official platforms.
