Chris Brown, Foo Fighters, Lil Wayne, Deadmau5 for Grammys performance.

Grammy nominees Chris Brown, Deadmau5, Foo Fighters, David Guetta and Lil Wayne are to perform together at the upcoming 54th annual Grammy Awards. 

The set will take place in a specially made outdoor tent near the Staples Centre in LA, and will serve as a tribute to dance and electronica music. This will be the first segment of its kind in the prestigious music awards show's history.

The performance marks Chris Brown's first appearance at the Grammys since 2009, after his assault on singer Rihanna just hours before he was due to perform. 

Other performers recently announced include Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Sir Paul McCartney and Nicki Minaj.

Adele will also be making her first live performance since receiving vocal cord surgery last year.

The ceremony will be hosted by two-time Grammy winner LL Cool J, Who was recently voted a Men't Fitness Icon.
