Washington: The upcoming Grammy Awards ceremony has a new date and a new location after being postponed due to a spike in COVID-19 cases, fuelled by the emergence of the Omicron variant. As per Variety, the 64th annual Grammy Awards will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 3.
The news came via a joint announcement from the Recording Academy, CBS and CMT. As a result of the Grammy date change, the CMT Awards will now move from its originally scheduled date of April 3 to a later date in April. This year will mark the first time that the CMT Awards will air on CBS. The Recording Academy previously announced that Grammys, which will be hosted by Trevor Noah for his second consecutive year, would be postponed from January 31 due to rising concerns over the COVID-19 surge.
