The 67th Annual Grammy Awards will be held on Sunday, February 2, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Deadline confirmed the biggest night in music would not move its date, following in the steps of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which also said it would be sticking by its March 2 Oscar ceremony date after having to move the nomination announcement twice, January 19 to now Thursday, January 23, due to ongoing L.A. wildfires.
A note from the Recording Academy revealed that this year’s awards show will raise additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts, honor the first responders battling the fires, and help those in need.
Here is the complete note from Harvey Mason Jr. and Tammy Hurt:
Dear Recording Academy Members,
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.
In response to this crisis, the Recording Academy and MusiCares launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort last week with an initial $1 million donation to support music creatives and professionals. Thanks to additional contributions, we have already distributed over $2 million in emergency aid to those most in need – and we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing ongoing assistance.
In close coordination with local authorities to ensure public safety and responsible use of area resources, the 67th GRAMMY Awards telecast on CBS on February 2nd 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.
In challenging times, music has the power to heal, comfort, and unite like nothing else. The GRAMMYs will not only honor the artistry and achievements of our music community but also serve as a platform to amplify the spirit of resilience that defines this great city of Los Angeles.
With heartfelt concern,
Harvey Mason jr.
Recording Academy & MusiCares CEO
Tammy Hurt
Chair, Board of Trustees
