Wicked fans may still have to wait a little over a month to see Ariana Grande play Glinda in the theatrical adaption of the hit Broadway musical, but tonight the Grammy-winning superstar will host this weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live for the second time. Joining her as a musical guest, the legendary Stevie Nicks — who recently released the single “The Lighthouse” — will make her return to the Studio 8H stage for the 50th season‘s latest episode.

Earlier this week, the two stars also appeared in a few teaser clips ahead of tonight’s SNL episode, alongside cast member Bowen Yang. “Iconic witchy women are here, just in time for spooky season,” Yang says in the teaser. “Spooky season? Stevie and I are witches all year!” Grande joked.
