Adele, Kendrick Lamar, the Weeknd and Little Big Town are among the initial wave of artists set to perform at the 58th Grammy Awards airing live nationwide on February 15th.<br />The To Pimp a Butterfly rapper leads this year's field with 11 nominations, including Album of the Year, where he'll face off against the Weeknd's Beauty Behind the Madness.<br />Little Big Town are up for two Grammys, including Best Country Album.<br />Adele's presence at this year's Grammys, however, is a little surprising: Although she shattered decades-old sales record with the release of her 25 , neither the album nor its debut smash single "Hello" are up for any awards since they arrived after the nomination eligibility date.<br />"This lineup of talented artists is just the beginning of what will, once again, prove to be music's biggest night."<br />Recording Academy CEO Neil Portnow said in a statement.
