EVENTS WILL HAVE A FOCUS ON UNITY AND SUPPORT FOR THOSE IMPACTED BY THE LA WILDFIRES
The Recording Academy® is releasing its revised 2025 GRAMMY® Week event schedule, focusing its efforts on the events that can be most impactful. As previously announced, the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards® telecast on CBS will continue to be held on Feb. 2 but 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 order to generate maximum support not only for members of the music community but also for all those affected by the crisis in Los Angeles and the city at large, many events that traditionally make up GRAMMY Week have been canceled or repurposed.
“We understand how devastating this past week has been on this city and its people,” said Recording Academy and 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 revised schedule for GRAMMY Week events, each of which will have a fundraising element, is as follows:
Friday, 1/31
Saturday, 2/1
- Special Merit Awards Ceremony & GRAMMY Nominees Reception
Sunday, 2/2
Since launching the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort To Support Music Professionals last week, the Recording Academy and MusiCares have raised and pledged more than $2 million in emergency aid to music people affected by the wildfires.
