The show, which is to be broadcast on CBS at 8 p.m. Eastern time from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, will include performances from Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, the Lumineers, Mumford & Sons, Kelly Clarkson and Jack White. Bruno Mars, Sting and Rihanna will collaborate with Daian Marley on a reggae segment.
The finale could turn into a memorable moment. As James C. McKinley Jr. writes, “Producers are promising a fusion of rap, punk rock and electronica, with the rapper Chuck D., the electronic musician Z-Trip, the drummer Travis Barker of Blink 182, the guitarist Tom Morello from Rage against the Machine. LL Cool J, who is hosting the show, will join them.â€
