Breaking records for both industry heavyweights and emerging artists, the 2026 Grammy Awards have come to a close. Held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 1, 2026, the show amplified music from all over the world, paving the way for artists like Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, and more to break barriers and earn grand awards from Record of the Year to Album of the Year.
Not only have this year’s Grammys broken records during the awarding ceremonies proper, but the show itself brought about some of the grandest performances we’ve seen in music so far. From theatrical stages by artists like Olivia Dean and Lady Gaga to memorable return performances by artists like Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars, each set at the 68th Grammy Awards perfectly showcased the impactful past year we’ve had in music across the globe.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at six of Billboard Philippines’ performance highlights from this year’s Grammy Awards.

Leading the Grammys 2026 Ozzy Osbourne tribute performance was none other than genre-bending hitmaker Post Malone, who was joined by Slash and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In honor of the legendary rock star, these acts joined forces to create their own rendition of his 1970 hit with Black Sabbath, “War Pigs.”

Entering with “Thought I Was Dead” and ending his set with “SUGAR ON MY TONGUE,” Tyler gave a performance that was equal parts enthralling and thrilling, with just a touch of eeriness.

If anything is certain, of all the acts that dressed up the Grammys stage, KATSEYE were certainly some of the gnarliest ones there. Proving their title as nominees for the Best New Artist award, the international girl group dominated the stage with charisma and confidence, showcasing their powerful choreography and strong stage presence.

Making his return to the Grammys stage, Justin Bieber treated the audience to a performance that was intimate, personal, and emotional in all the right ways. With “YUKON” and “DAISIES,” Bieber sang over looped guitar and electronics while simply clad in a pair of boxers — making a raw statement out of the pop star’s return to the spotlight.
Lady Gaga – “Abracadabra”

It’s no surprise to anyone (especially to her Little Monsters) that Lady Gaga brought out one of the most impressive performances of the evening with her art pop hit “Abracadabra.” The pop star truly pulled out all the stops, as she emerged with a costume seeming to depict a monster crawling out of a cage, and took the stage with a fury and charisma unmatched.
