Tonight (November 30), The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! — Countdown to Music’s Biggest Night will be broadcast on CBS television network at 10 pm Eastern Time, live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
Host LL Cool J will announce nominations in several categories and introduce performances by past Grammy winners and/or nominees.
The star power will be blazing with performances by Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Usher, The Band Perry, Sugarland, Ludacris, Lupe Fiasco and Jason Aldean.
In addition, a special songwriting tribute has been added to the lineup, featuring Usher along with Valerie Simpson (of the duo Ashford And Simpson) and Mike Stoller (of the Grammy-winning songwriting team Leiber & Stoller) — both of whom lost their longtime songwriting partners (Nick Ashford and Jerry Leiber) this past year.
After the show, fans will be treated to a concert from The Band Perry, the country trio that won three awards at the recent Country Music Awards.
The Grammy Awards ceremony will be held on Sunday, February 12, 2012 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
