The 64th Grammy Awards will take place April 3 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The Recording Academy, which presents music’s most prestigious awards show, revealed the new date and location in a message sent Tuesday to academy members, nearly two weeks after it said the show would not go on as planned on Jan. 31 in Los Angeles due to the rapid spread of the highly infectious omicron variant of the coronavirus.
“We are excited to take the Grammys to Las Vegas for the very first time, and to put on a world class show,” the academy’s CEO, Harvey Mason Jr., said in the message. “From the moment we announced the postponement of the original show date, we have been inundated with heartfelt messages of support and solidarity from the artist community. We are humbled by their generosity and grateful for their unwavering commitment to the Grammy Awards and the Academy’s mission.”
