January 30, 2026
All of the 2026 Grammy Awards best new artists nominees have taken the stage at Spotify’s annual pre-Grammy Party in Los Angeles. The event Thursday night was held at the Lot at Formosa in West Hollywood. The lineup included Leon Thomas, Olivia Dean, Katseye, Addison Rae, The Marías, sombr and Alex Warren. The event spotlighted up-and-coming talent across genres and backgrounds. Each act ran through three to four songs. They introduced themselves to an audience built of new listeners and dedicated fans in seemingly equal measure. The stage rotated to reveal another backline and leaving the audience closest to the stage to guess who would emerge next.
