Spiritbox to Perform at Grammys 2026 Premiere Ceremony

Spiritbox have been tapped to perform at the 2026 Grammys Premiere Ceremony following their nomination for Best Metal Performance.

The Grammys unveiled the lineup for the event, at which most of the awards are handed out. The Premiere Ceremony will also feature performances by Darren Criss and Helen J Shen, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Zara Larsson, and an ensemble led by Grace Potter. Criss will serve as host, with the concert streaming on YouTube and the Grammys website starting Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET.

“The Premiere Ceremony is one of the most exciting parts of Grammy weekend,” Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. said in the announcement release. “Witnessing the ceremony, you see the wide range of genres and crafts that make up our music community, and all the people who push music forward. I can’t wait to see this year’s lineup of presenters and performers kick off Grammy Sunday and help celebrate as we present the first awards of the day.”

As mentioned, Spiritbox were also nominated for Best Metal Performance for their song “Soft Spine,” an inclusion on their 2025 album Tsunami Sea. That marks the prog-metal band’s third consecutive Grammy nod in that category, so at this point, there’s no excuse for not recognizing singer Courtney LaPlante on the red carpet.

The Grammys appearance will kick off a what looks to be another big year for Spiritbox. Next up, the band is set to support a significant portion of Evanescence’s 2026 tour this summer. Get tickets here.
