With the biggest night in music right around the corner, the Recording Academy is getting ready to celebrate–and is bringing everyone at home along for the ride with MusiCares’ virtual fundraiser, ‘Music on a Mission.’
The event is taking place to honor the strength of the music community and how much it has gone through in the past year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s set to take place on Friday, March 12, only two nights before the 63rd GRAMMY Awards.
So far, the lineup of performers includes HAIM, H.E.R., Jhené Aiko, John Legend, and the newly announced South Korean boy group BTS. MusiCares will also include performances from the legendary Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, and Tom Petty with special appearances by Carole King, Jonas Brothers, Lionel Richie, Shakira, Macklemore, Paul McCartney, and more.
Mark your calendars!
