LOS ANGELES — The 66th Grammy Awards will take place Feb. 4 in a ceremony at Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles, organizers said Thursday. Nominations for music's most prestigious awards show will be revealed Nov. 10.
The announcement from the Recording Academy, which presents the annual Grammys, follows news of several rule changes set to be instituted for the 2024 ceremony, which will be broadcast live on CBS and will stream on Paramount+.
After two years in which 10 nominees were allowed into each of the show's top categories — album, record and song of the year, as well as best new artist — the 66th Grammys will reduce the number of nominees for each prize to eight. The academy will also hand out three new awards for best African music performance, best pop dance recording and best alternative jazz album, bringing the total number of categories to 94.
