Grammys will proceed as planned on Feb. 2, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said, as Los Angeles faces several deadly wildfires.

The Academy canceled some of its events leading up to the Awards show and has repurposed others to heighten focus on fundraising for relief

The Recording Academy has released a revised 2025 Grammy Week event schedule, which focuses the organization's efforts on "the events that can be most impactful" in the wake of the multiple devastating wildfires that continue to burn across Los Angeles.

The 67th annual Grammy Awards will still take place Sunday, Feb. 2, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles — though the Recording Academy has refocused its aim to support relief efforts following the devastating Los Angeles-area wildfires.

Like the expected changes from the 2025 Oscars, Grammy Week will feature a revised, smaller-scale schedule. The decision was made to respect those affected by the wildfires and to focus on generating funds for recovery. The Academy will also honor the dedication of first responders who have worked tirelessly throughout the crisis.

MusiCares' Person of the Year event, honoring the Grateful Dead, is moving ahead 'with a special appeal for donations to support wildfire relief.'

That doesn’t mean everything Grammy-related is happening as normal, though: Spotify announced they have canceled their 2025 Grammy events. In a post shared on Spotify’s website yesterday (January 16), Joe Hadley, Spotify’s global head of music partnerships and audience, wrote:

The Recording Academy and MusiCares have launched a major relief effort to assist music professionals displaced by the catastrophic wildfires in Los Angeles.

Grammy Awards is still happening in the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires — but its ethos will be a little different this year, says the Recording Academy.

On Monday, it was announced that both the Grammys and Oscars would proceed as planned on February 2 and March 2, respectively, answering a question that has been debated behind the scenes by decision makers tasked with figuring out how to proceed with award season as Los Angeles grapples with devastating wildfires.

The 67th annual ceremony is expected to take place on February 2 at the Crypto.Com Arena in downtown Los Angeles.

The Recording Academy announced it had condensed pre-Grammy week plans to just four events, each featuring a fundraising element.
