The Recording Academy® has updated its schedule for the 2025 GRAMMY® Week events, putting more focus on the activities that will have the biggest impact.
GRAMMY Awards® to Raise Money for Wildfire Relief and to Honor First Responders
As mentioned before, the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards® will still be broadcast on CBS on February 2, but this year it will have a special mission: to raise more money for wildfire relief and to honor the courage of first responders who put their lives on the line for us.
Maximizing Support
To maximize support for not just the music community but also everyone affected by the crisis in Los Angeles, many of the usual GRAMMY Week events have been canceled or changed.
Recording Academy and MusiCares® CEO Harvey Mason jr. acknowledges the devastating impact of the recent week on the city and its people, but after careful consideration and assurances from elected leaders, public safety agencies, and support from the artist community, GRAMMY Week 2025 will continue and seek to help rebuild, uplift and support those in need.
The GRAMMY Week activities plan has been updated, incorporating various fundraising methods.
Friday, 1/31
• MusiCares Persons Of The Year Charity Gala honoring the Grateful Dead
Saturday, 2/1
• Special Merit Awards Ceremony & GRAMMY Nominees Reception
• Clive Davis’ & the Recording Academy’s Pre-GRAMMY Fundraising Event
Sunday, 2/2
• 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards Premiere Ceremony® & Telecast
$2 Million in Emergency Support
Last week, the Recording Academy and MusiCares started the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort to help music professionals, and they have already raised and promised over $2 million in emergency support for those impacted by the wildfires.
