Recording Academy Condenses GRAMMY Week Activities to Support Wildfire Relief

In light of the recent devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, the Recording Academy® has announced a revised schedule for its 2025 GRAMMY® Week events, emphasizing unity and support for those impacted by the crisis. The 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards® telecast, set to air on CBS on February 2, will carry a renewed sense of purpose, focusing on raising funds for wildfire relief and honoring the dedication of first responders.

As the Academy navigates this challenging moment, it has made the difficult decision to cancel or repurpose many traditional GRAMMY Week events to maximize support for the local community. "We understand how devastating this past week has been on this city and its people," said Harvey Mason jr., CEO of the Recording Academy and MusiCares®. “This is our home, it’s home to thousands of music professionals, and many of us have been negatively impacted. After thoughtful consideration and assurances from local leaders and public safety agencies, we decided to proceed with the GRAMMY telecast and select events. GRAMMY Week 2025 will not just honor music; it will harness its power to help rebuild and uplift those in need.”

The revised GRAMMY Week schedule, notable for its fundraising focus, includes:

• Friday, January 31: MusiCares Persons of The Year Charity Gala honoring the Grateful Dead

• Saturday, February 1: Special Merit Awards Ceremony & GRAMMY Nominees Reception, and Clive Davis’ & the Recording Academy’s Pre-GRAMMY Fundraising Event

• Sunday, February 2: 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards Premiere Ceremony® & Telecast

Since the launch of the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort to Support Music Professionals, the Recording Academy and MusiCares have already raised and pledged over $2 million in emergency aid for music professionals affected by the wildfires.
