UPDATE (12.04.13): Lorde and Miguel have been added to the lineup for this Friday's nominations concert.

As the GRAMMY nominations approach, it should come as no surprise that some of the year's biggest names will be performing the official Nominations Concert in December.

The Academy confirmed on Wednesday that Drake, Robin Thicke, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Keith Urban will perform the special telecast, which is set to be held live Dec. 6 from the Los Angeles Nokia Theatre L.A. Live.

The Nominations Concert performers are always a good indication of possible nominations, and all of the aforementioned acts are strong contenders for nods this year.

LL Cool J will once again host the event as it broadcasts live on CBS.

Additionally, Thicke will perform an exclusive concert for guests in attendance following the one-hour live telecast. Tickets for The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!! — Countdown To Music's Biggest Night go on sale to the general public on Thursday, Oct. 17. For more information, go here.
