Bob Dylan will perform at the Grammys with Mumford & Sons

This Sunday’s Grammy Awards just got a whole lot more interesting. In case seeing Arcade Fire, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Lady Gaga and Muse perform live didn’t entice you enough to watch, Bob Dylan will be making his fifth performance at the annual Award ceremony where he’ll perform alongside Mumford & Sons and The Avett Brothers, the Los Angeles Times reports.

“When you see that name and think about what it represents, those are the things that we want to be part of the show — those are things that have to be part of the show,” producer Ken Ehrlich said.

Ehrlich has plans for Mumford & Sons to play their track “The Cave” followed by The Avett Brothers’ “Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise” and then Dylan is expected to play a song that has yet to be revealed.

“I don’t think either of these bands would be on a stage if it wasn’t for the music of Bob Dylan,” he continued. “I think for the harmonies alone it should be something special. You don’t know what you’ve got, what the blend is, until you see it, but I think it could be fantastic.”
