Spiritbox are set to perform at this weekend’s GRAMMY Awards Premiere Ceremony.

Before the actual awards kick off, the metalcore titans will hit Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, February 1 – joining fellow Premiere Ceremony appearances by Darren Criss and Helen J Shen, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Zara Larsson, and an ensemble performance by Grace Potter, Israel Houghton, Lila Iké, Maggie Rose and Trombone Shorty.

Of course, this comes a year on from Courtney LaPlante’s iconic red carpet interview at the 2025 GRAMMYs, in which she was mistaken for Poppy but went along with the whole thing anyway, explaining that she “would love to take home the GRAMMY for Knocked Loose and myself because I would be the first woman to win this award”.

That year, Spiritbox were nominated for Best Metal Performance (though they lost out to Gojira). This time around, Dream Theater, Ghost, Sleep Token and Turnstile are facing off in that category, while elsewhere the likes of Amyl And The Sniffers, Linkin Park, Hayley Williams, YUNGBLUD, Nine Inch Nails and Deftones are all up for other gongs.
