The 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards Show is scheduled to air on Sunday, January 31, 2022; however, due to the pandemic and impending health concerns surrounding the transmission of the Omicron variant, the show is postponed. The Recording Academy released a statement earlier this afternoon to shed light on this decision. A future date is forthcoming and will be announced when available.

“After careful consideration and analysis with city and state officials, health and safety experts, the artist community and our many partners, the Recording Academy® and CBS have postponed the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards® Show. The health and safety of those in our music community, the live audience, and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly to produce our show remains our top priority.
