Tyler, the Creator is set to return to the Grammy stage on Sunday, February 1st, as the 68th Annual Grammy Awards approach. The Recording Academy confirmed the performance on Thursday, January 29th, adding to an already impressive lineup of artists.
Grammy Recognition for Two Albums
This year’s performance comes as Tyler, the Creator’s albums CHROMAKOPIA and DON’T TAP THE GLASS have received multiple nominations. CHROMAKOPIA is nominated for the prestigious Album of the Year award, alongside Best Rap Album and Best Album Cover. The songs “Darling, I” and “Sticky” from the same album are also in contention for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song, respectively. “Sticky” features collaborations with GloRilla, Sexyy Red, and Lil Wayne.
DON’T TAP THE GLASS is nominated in the Best Alternative Music Album category, where it will compete against albums by Hayley Williams, Bon Iver, and Wet Leg, among others.
Potential Collaborations and Upcoming Performances
Fans speculate that Tyler’s performance may include material from both nominated albums. There is also a possibility of a collaboration with Clipse and Pharrell, who were previously announced as performers. Tyler shares the song “P.O.V.” with Clipse, and Pharrell contributed to “Big Poe” last year.
The Grammy Awards ceremony will be held at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena and broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+ at 8 p.m. ET.
Beyond the Grammys, Tyler, the Creator is scheduled to headline Lollapalooza in Chile, Argentina, and Brazil in March, and will also be the headlining act at All Points East 2026 in August.
