Brothers Osborne, Eric Church and Maren Morris will perform a tribute in honor of “victims of concert tragedies” at the Grammy Awards on Jan. 28.

All of the aforementioned artists performed at the three-day Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas when a lone gunman opened fire on concertgoers on Oct. 1, killing 58 and injuring more than 500.

“Live music events have always provided a safe space for fans to gather in a shared celebration of music,” said Neil Portnow, president/CEO of the Recording Academy. “Sadly, that wasn’t always the case this past year. We believe it’s incredibly important to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in these senseless tragedies and to remind musicians and music lovers alike that live music will continue to be a powerful force that unites us all.”

Hosted by James Corden, the Grammy Awards will be broadcast live from Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday, Jan. 28, 7:30–11 p.m. ET, on CBS.
