The Academy canceled some of its events leading up to the Awards show and has repurposed others to heighten focus on fundraising for relief
Grammys will proceed as planned on Feb. 2, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said, as Los Angeles faces several deadly wildfires.
The 67th annual Grammy Awards will still take place Sunday, Feb. 2, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles — though the Recording Academy has refocused its aim to support relief efforts following the devastating Los Angeles-area wildfires.
The Recording Academy has released a revised 2025 Grammy Week event schedule, which focuses the organization's efforts on "the events that can be most impactful" in the wake of the multiple devastating wildfires that continue to burn across Los Angeles.
The Grammy Awards, scheduled to take place in wildfire-ravaged Los Angeles, will not be canceled or postponed — but it will instead refocus the show on fire relief efforts.
Like the expected changes from the 2025 Oscars, Grammy Week will feature a revised, smaller-scale schedule. The decision was made to respect those affected by the wildfires and to focus on generating funds for recovery. The Academy will also honor the dedication of first responders who have worked tirelessly throughout the crisis.
UPDATE: In a joint statement, the Recording Academy and MusiCares CEO Harvey Mason Jr. and Tammy Hurt, the chair of the academy’s board of trustees, confirmed the Grammy Awards telecast will proceed on Feb. 2 as planned.
The Recording Academy and MusiCares launched a relief program to support musicians and professionals impacted by the ongoing fires in L.A.
MusiCares' Person of the Year event, honoring the Grateful Dead, is moving ahead 'with a special appeal for donations to support wildfire relief.'
On Monday, it was announced that both the Grammys and Oscars would proceed as planned on February 2 and March 2, respectively, answering a question that has been debated behind the scenes by decision makers tasked with figuring out how to proceed with award season as Los Angeles grapples with devastating wildfires.
The Recording Academy announced it had condensed pre-Grammy week plans to just four events, each featuring a fundraising element.
