The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has officially pulled back the curtain on the star-studded talent slated for the 98th Academy Awards. Set to take place on March 15, 2026, the ceremony will feature a diverse lineup of musical acts and world-renowned dancers. Among the first wave of confirmed performers are Josh Groban, Misty Copeland, and the K-pop-inspired trio HUNTR/X.

Fans of the hit film Kpop Demon Hunters are in for a treat as HUNTR/X—the group comprised of artists EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami—will take the stage to perform the song "Golden." Meanwhile, the soulful track "I Lied to You" from the movie Sinners will be brought to life by Miles Caton. He won't be alone, however; the Academy Press Office confirmed he will be joined by legendary producer Raphael Saadiq and celebrated ballerina Misty Copeland.

While specific details regarding Josh Groban’s segment remain under wraps, his inclusion adds a touch of classical crossover prestige to the telecast. This announcement marks only the beginning of the festivities planned for Hollywood’s biggest night. More performers and presenters are expected to be named as the countdown to the mid-March broadcast continues.
