Queen Latifah, Doja Cat, and Wicked stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are all apart of the performers for the upcoming 2025 Oscars.

A press released went out on Wednesday that also confirmed that LISA of Blackpink and RAYE will hit the stage. Alongside them will be a “special appearance” by the Los Angeles Master Chorale. More talent will be announced leading up to the Conan O’Brien hosted awards. The Oscars will take place on Sunday, March 2nd at 7 pm. Fans can watch live on ABC and Hulu.

There were rumors that Doja Cat might use this opportunity to sample the rollout of her new album Vie, that she tweeted was coming soon. Queen Latifah and Missy Elliott recently added a prestigious honor to their names after receiving a National Medal of Arts from President Joe Biden. They both were honored alongside Spike Lee, Steven Spielberg, and Eva Longoria. The National Media of Arts is “the highest award given to artist and arts patrons by the federal government,” according to the National Endowment for the Arts.

Cynthia and Ariana, better known as Elphaba and Glinda, have not yet confirmed if they will be touching the Oscar stage yet. In a slight break from tradition, this year’s ceremony will not include live performances of the best original song nominees. However, Erivo and Grande still might hit the Oscar stage to preform the charting song “Defying Gravity,” which spent four weeks in the Top 10 of the UK’s official chart and became a viral sensation.
