He's no stranger to high-profile performances, and Eminem is scheduled to rock the house at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.

The "Love the Way You Lie" rapper is also up for the prestigious Album of the Year trophy at  this year's festivities.

Additionally, Eminem will compete in nine other categories thanks to his amazing comeback album Recovery.

Adding more flavor to an already action-packed lineup is Katy Perry, who has also been named as a performer at this year's Grammy Awards.

According to ET, the "Firework" singer will be taking the stage at the Staples Center along with being nominated for four trophies including Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Album of the Year.

Meanwhile, other top Grammy hopefuls include Jay-Z, Lady Antebellum, and Lady Gaga with six noms each.

Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy, said, "This year's nominations are a true reflection of an exceptional and talented community of music makers that embody some of the highest levels of excellence and artistry in their respective fields. It is most gratifying to see the GRAMMY Awards process once again produce a broad cross section of diverse and impressive nominees across multiple genres. Coupled with the third year of our primetime nominations special, the road to Music's Biggest Night, the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards in February, is off to an exciting start."

The Grammy Awards will air on February 13 at 8PM ET/PT on CBS.
