Recording Academy Reduces Grammy Week Events

/by

The Recording Academy has unveiled a new schedule for Grammy Week 2025, concentrating on the events with the greatest impact.

As previously announced, the 67th annual Grammy Awards will still take place and air on CBS on Feb. 2 with a renewed focus of raising additional funds for wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and commitment of first responders. To maximize support for both the music community and all those impacted by the crisis in Los Angeles and beyond, many traditional Grammy Week events have been either canceled or restructured.

“We understand how devastating this past week has been on this city and its people,” shares Recording Academy & MusiCares CEO Harvey Mason Jr. “This is our home, it’s home to thousands of music professionals, and many of us have been negatively impacted. So after thoughtful consideration, and multiple assurances from state and local elected leaders, public safety agencies, and with support from our incredible artist community, we have decided to go ahead with the Grammy telecast and some select events. Grammy Week 2025 will not just be about honoring music, it will be about using the power of music to help rebuild, uplift and support those in need.”

The updated Grammy Week schedule, with each event featuring a fundraising component, will include the MusiCares Persons of the Year Charity Gala honoring the Grateful Dead on Jan. 31, the Special Merit Awards Ceremony & Grammy Nominees Reception on Feb. 1 and Clive Davis’ & the Recording Academy’s Pre-Grammy Fundraising Event on also Feb. 1, all culminating with the awards on Feb. 2.

Since the launch of the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort to Support Music Professionals last week, the Recording Academy and MusiCares have raised and committed over two million dollars in emergency assistance for music industry professionals impacted by the wildfires.
