The GRAMMYs is one of the biggest dates in the music calendar and it is due to take place later this month. Ahead of the huge award show the first performers have been announced and we can't wait to see them take to the stage.

Taking to social media the event's official account announced the performers as current nominees Childish Gambino, Little Big Town and GRAMMY winners and nominees Lady Gaga and P!nk.

Six-time GRAMMY award winner Lady Gaga is nominated for two awards this year, Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album. She is also expected to perform a track from her GRAMMY-nominated album, 'Joanne'.

Three-time GRAMMY winner P!nk is also nominated in the Best Pop Solo Performance category for 'What About Us', although it has not yet been confirmed what tracks she will sing from her extensive back catalogue.

This year's award ceremony will return to New York for the first time in 15 years, after taking place in Los Angeles in recent years. This will be the 60th GRAMMYs to take place and the second one to be hosted by James Corden.

Last year the nominations for the big night were revealed with Jay-Z, Bruno Mars and Kendrick Lamar leading. Beyoncé's husband Jay-Z led the way with a massive eight nominations, whilst 21-time GRAMMY Award winner rapper Kendrick Lamar was up for seven awards, and Bruno Mars was nominated for six.
