The 67th annual Grammy Awards will still take place Sunday at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles — though the Recording Academy has refocused its aim to support relief efforts following the devastating Los Angeles-area wildfires.

Post Malone, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Charli XCX follow with seven nominations.
Taylor Swift and first-time nominees Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan boast six nominations each.
The 2025 Grammy Awards will go on as planned but will focus its attention on wildfire relief efforts.
Each year, the Recording Academy hosts a multitude of events to welcome the music industry during Grammy week; record labels do the same. However, many institutions have canceled their plans — Universal Music Group, BMG and Warner Music Group among them — and instead are allocating resources to Los Angeles-area wildfire relief and rebuilding efforts.
The Recording Academy condensed pre-Grammy week plans to just four events, each featuring a fundraising element. Events like the annual pre-Grammy Black Music Collective event, Grammy advocacy brunch, and others scheduled to take place at the immersive pop-up Grammy house were canceled. In all, at least 16 pre-Grammy events sponsored by the Recording Academy have been canceled.
“This is our home, it’s home to thousands of music professionals, and many of us have been negatively impacted,” Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. said in a statement.
The Recording Academy and MusiCares also launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort with a $1 million donation. Currently, they’ve raised and pledged more than $4 million in emergency aid to those in the music industry affected by the wildfires.
Spotify has canceled all of its Grammy week events, including its annual Best New Artist showcase. “We’ve decided that the most impactful approach is canceling all our Grammy Week events, including our annual Best New Artist party, and redirecting funds to support efforts to reach local fans and charitable organizations,” Spotify’s Global Head of Music Partnerships & Audience Joe Hadley wrote in an announcement.
Universal Music Group, one of the big three major record labels, has canceled all of its Grammy-related events. Those include its annual artist showcase, held on Saturday, and its after-party on the Sunday of Grammys week. Instead, it will redirect those funds to wildfire relief.
BMG will no longer host its pre-Grammy party and a representative for Warner Music Group confirmed to The Associated Press that the major label will not host a party this year and are instead “redirecting funds to support efforts.” Earlier this week, WMG and the Blavatnik Family Foundation Social Justice Fund pledged $1 million to Los Angeles area fire relief and rebuilding efforts.
Sony Music Group confirmed it has canceled its events during Grammy week and after the ceremony and will instead redirect efforts and money to local relief efforts.
MusiCares, an organization that helps music professionals who need financial, personal or medical assistance, holds its annual Persons of the Year benefit gala at the Los Angeles Convention Center a few days before the Grammys. The 2025 gala will still take place on Friday, this year honoring the Grateful Dead with an additional commitment to wildfire relief.
