The 60th anniversary of Motown will receive a star-filled soiree a couple of days after the Grammy Awards.

“Motown 60: A Grammy Celebration” will tape on Feb. 12 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and air on CBS on April 21.

The live concert will feature Atlanta's Chloe x Halle, Ciara and Ne-Yo, as well as Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Little Big Town, John Legend, Boyz II Men, Fantasia, Brian and Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier, Thelma Houston, Tori Kelly, Martha Reeves, Meghan Trainor, Valerie Simpson and Pentatonix.

Chloe x Halle, who are up for a pair of Grammy Awards on Sunday in L.A., earned a nod from mentor Beyonce for their stellar rendition of "America The Beautiful" before last weekend's Super Bowl.

"I'm so proud of Chloe and Halle," she posted on her Instagram with a clip of the performance. The sisters, who opened for

Beyonce and Jay-Z on their "On the Run II" tour last year, are signed to Beyonce's Parkwood Entertainment label.
