The ceremony will also feature special performances paying homage to Los Angeles’s resilience and culture. 

This announcement comes as the Grammys set a clear tone for a night of celebration and purpose. This year’s event will double as a fundraiser for the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort, an initiative led by the Recording Academy and MusiCares, which has already raised over $4 million for music professionals affected by recent wildfires.

Ahead of the main event, the Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony will kick off at 12:30 p.m. PT at the Peacock Theater. Performances will include Yolanda Adams, Wayne Brady, and Deborah Cox, among others.

The main telecast airs at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS, with streaming available on Paramount+.
