Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley to Perform at Grammys

Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley to Perform at Grammys
Beyoncé will be in good company come Grammy night. PEOPLE has already confirmed that the pop star will duet with Tina Turner – and now the Recording Academy says that Alicia Keys will also perform on the Feb. 10 telecast.

Other new additions to the performing roster include: country crooner Brad Paisley, best new artist nominee Feist and the casts of "The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil" and Across The Universe, who will offer a special Beatles tribute.

While the Grammys are renowned for unusual live pairings, this year's ceremony promises several dynamic match-ups. The Academy has already announced that Rihanna will perform with reunited group the Time in a special segment to commemorate the award show's 50th anniversary. In addition, Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige, the Clark Sisters, Israel And New Breed, and Trin-I-Tee 5:7 will all take part in a special gospel segment.

Other previously announced Grammy performers include: Carrie Underwood and the Foo Fighters (joined by guest conductor John Paul Jones).
