As the ceremony draws nearer, the Grammys' talent booking team is upping its game. Following news that Daft Punk, the Weeknd, A Tribe Called Quest, Anderson .Paak and Dave Grohl would be performing at the ceremony, a few more names have been tapped to take the star-studded stage.
 
Chance the Rapper basically changed the Grammys' whole game by releasing Coloring Book as a free mixtape, and in addition to nabbing a nomination for Best New Artist, the Chicago hip-hop pioneer will perform during the show.
 
Nonconformist country dude and Chance's fellow Saturday Night Live alumnus Sturgill Simpson has also been added to the list of performers.
 
William Bell, Little Big Town and Gary Clark Jr. round out the latest list of added artists.

The 59th annual Grammy Awards will be handed out in a televised ceremony hosted by James Corden on February 12. Catch up on the full list of nominees here.
