Grammy Week Events Adjusted for Wildfire Relief

In response to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, the Recording Academy has announced significant changes to Grammy Week 2025, which will now focus on fundraising and honoring first responders. While the 67th Annual Grammy Awards will still take place on February 2, many traditional events leading up to the ceremony have been canceled or repurposed to support wildfire relief efforts. CEO Harvey Mason Jr. emphasized the importance of using the platform to help those affected, stating, '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.' Key events that will proceed include the MusiCares Persons of the Year Charity Gala honoring the Grateful Dead and other fundraising initiatives. The changes reflect a broader effort within the music community to provide assistance to industry professionals impacted by the wildfires, which have caused widespread destruction and displacement. Overall, the Academy aims to channel the spirit of the awards into tangible support for the local community grappling with the crisis.
