JUST IN: Grammy Awards Remain Scheduled For Feb. 2 Amid L.A. Wildfires
The 2025 Grammy Awards are still scheduled for Feb. 2 at Crypto.com Arena, despite the wildfires that have devastated Los Angeles, according to Billboard.
“Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. This city is our home, and we mourn the loss of life and destruction that have come to it in recent days,” shared Recording Academy and MusiCares CEO Harvey Mason Jr. and Chair of the Board of Trustees Tammy Hurt in a joint statement.
“In close coordination with local authorities to ensure public safety and responsible use of area resources, the 67th Grammy Awards telecast on CBS on Feb. 2 will proceed as planned. This year’s show, however, will carry a renewed sense of purpose: raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours.”
Last week, the Recording Academy and MusiCares launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort with an initial $1 million donation to aid music creatives and professionals.
The status of the MusiCares Person of the Year event, the Recording Academy’s Special Merit Awards and other related events remains uncertain. See the nominees here.
