The GRAMMYs kicked off the year by announcing some fantastic acts for the massive music awards show, and they have just announced even more HUGE names will be taking to the stage later this month.

Revealing to the press the latest additions to the line-up, The Recording Academy announced it "has expanded its line-up for the 60th Annual GRAMMY Awards". The statement released to the press went on to say that Kendrick Lamar, Sam Smith and U2 will be joining the already amazing line-up, of Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee, Kesha, Bruno Mars with Cardi B, Lady Gaga and P!nk.

As well as performing on the night, Kendrick Lamar has been nominated for a massive seven GRAMMYs, including Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year and Best Rap Album. 22-time GRAMMY winners, U2, are also expected to perform a 'special performance', although no further details have been released.

At the beginning of the year The Recording Academy announced Lady Gaga and P!nk as the first performers at this year's GRAMMYs. For the first time in 15 years the GRAMMYs will be returning to Madison Square Gardens, in New York City, where it will be hosted by James Corden for the second time.

This year's nominations are led by Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar and Bruno Mars who are nominated for eight, seven and six categories respectively.

Unsurprisingly Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber, who released the massive summer hit 'Despacito', were nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Record Of The Year and Song of the Year.

Other nominations in the Best Pop Solo Performance category included Kelly Clarkson, 'Love So Soft', Kesha, 'Praying', Lady Gaga, 'Million Reasons', P!nk, 'What About Us' and Ed Sheeran, 'Shape Of You'.

The GRAMMYs takes place in the US on Sunday 28th January.
