With a total of 5 nominations under his belt for the 2018 Grammys, Childish Gambino will be one of this year’s performers to take the stage on music’s biggest night.

The rapper-actor joins the newly-announced list of performers, which include Lady Gaga, Pink, and Little Big Town. The Recording Academy made the announcement line-up earlier today, January 4th, for the 60th year of the show.

Gambino has been silent on the music forefront since his 2016 ‘Awaken, My Love!’ album, but this will mark Gambino’s first Grammy performance appearance, when the show returns to New York City.

Gambino is also up against Jay Z and Kendrick Lamar in the ‘Album Of The Year’ category.

Catch the show January 28th at 7:30pm ET on CBS.
