No matter what type of music you like: pop, country, rock, R&B, you name it, you will hear it this Sunday and see the most popular recording artists of our day perform.
In the pop music genre, you will see Sam Smith ("All Of Me"), Usher ("New Flame"), and Pharrell Williams ("Happy").
In the country music area, Miranda Lambert ("Automatic") will appear and this Sunday will be the first performance for Brandy Clark who is nominated for Best New Artist and Best Country Album for 12 Stories.
Other performers include AC/DC, Eric Church, Ariana Grande, Madonna, and Ed Sheeran.
