Katy Perry and Pitbull were confirmed as performers for the show. Additional acts are expected to be revealed in the near future.
Adele recently cancelled a ten-date US tour due to illness.
She has since claimed that her smoking habit is not to blame for her laryngitis, insisting that talking is destroying her voice instead.
Winners will be determined by online voting. The show is slated to air live from the Nokia Theatre on Sunday, November 20 at 8/7c on ABC.
