Multi-Grammy winner Bruno Mars is officially taking the stage for the 2026 Grammy Awards, as confirmed by the Recording Academy on Instagram. Mars joins a powerhouse roster that includes Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, and Blackpink member Rosé, his viral track “APT.” collaborator.
Mars and Rosé are expected to perform their chart-topping hit "APT.," for which Mars has earned three nominations this year, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. This performance marks a high-stakes night for Mars, who enters the 68th Annual Grammy Awards with a career total of 16 wins already under his belt.
This recognition follows his previous wins at past Grammys, including four awards as part of Silk Sonic in 2022, and his multiple victories in 2016 and 2018, including Album and Record of the Year.
In addition to his Grammy performance, Mars is gearing up for the release of his solo album “The Romantic”, set to drop on February 27. He will support the album with a seven-month world tour beginning in April.
