Beyoncé and Billie Eilish have been added as performers at the 94th Academy Awards this weekend. Beyoncé will perform “Be Alive” from King Richard, and Eilish will be joined by her brother Finneas for a performance of the James Bond theme “No Time to Die.” 

Sebastián Yatra will also perform the Encanto song “Dos Oruguitas,” while Reba McEntire will perform the Diane Warren-penned song from Four Good Days, “Somehow You Do.” Van Morrison will not be able to perform his song from Belfast, “Down to Joy,” due to his tour schedule.

The performers join D-Nice and the Samples on the program, which will also feature an “all-star” band of Travis Barker, Sheila E., Robert Glasper, and music director Adam Blackstone. It happens on Sunday, March 27, at 8 p.m. Eastern.

Beyoncé and Eilish are up for their first Academy Awards this year, with both women nominated for Best Original Song. “No Time to Die” has already earned Eilish and Finneas a Grammy and a Golden Globe. Beyoncé’s “Be Alive” was also nominated for a Golden Globe.
