The award is one of the hundred or so that will be given out during an afternoon ceremony dubbed the “pre-tel” or pre-telecast, which will stream live online at Grammy Live—the red carpet walk will be at 2 p.m. CST and the pre-tel will start at 3. Rebirth will also perform on the pre-tel, just as Trombone Shorty did last year and Terrance Simien did in 2008.

Later that night during the telecast on CBS, Lil Wayne will be part of a special performance with Chris Brown, Deadmau5, Foo Fighters and David Guetta in honor of the debut of the new Dance/Electronica category. Other performers on the Grammy telecast include Adele, Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson, Tony Bennett and Carrie Underwood, Brown, Glen Campbell with the Band Perry and Blake Shelton, Coldplay and Rihanna, Foo Fighters, Alicia Keys and Bonnie Raitt, Bruno Mars, Paul McCartney, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, and Taylor Swift.
