Johnny Depp‘s band The Hollywood Vampires are performing at this year’s Grammys, the Recording Academy announced on Thursday.

The rock collective was founded by Alice Cooper and also includes fellow rock icon Joe Perry. Other musicians joining the new act for their TV debut include Grammy winner Matt Sorum on drums, Guns N’ Roses’ Duff McKagan on bass, Tommy Henriksen on guitar and Bruce Witkin on piano and guitar.

The Hollywood Vampires’ self-titled debut album is out now. Proceeds will benefit The Recording Academy’s health and human services charity, MusiCares, which provides emergency financial assistance and addiction recovery resources for music people in need.

Additionally, Justin Bieber has also been added to the performer lineup alongside Diplo and Skrillex to perform their hit single “Where Are Ü Now,” which is nominated for a Grammy this year.

Chris Stapleton, who is nominated for four awards this year, will perform with past winners Gary Clark, Jr. and Bonnie Raitt to pay tribute to legendary blues artist B.B. King, who died last spring.

The 58th Annual Grammy Awards hosted once again by LL Cool J will be broadcast live by CBS from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Feb. 15, starting at 8 p.m. ET.
