2025 Grammys Adapt to Los Angeles Wildfires with Fundraising Focus
The annual music awards show has restructured its events and tone to support wildfire relief efforts while maintaining its celebration of music.
- The Recording Academy has condensed Grammy Week to four key events, each incorporating fundraising elements for wildfire relief.
- The Grammys will proceed on February 2 with a focus on raising awareness and funds for those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires.
- MusiCares, the Recording Academy's charitable wing, has already raised nearly $4 million and distributed $2.2 million in emergency aid.
- The show will balance performances and awards with segments highlighting wildfire recovery efforts, avoiding a traditional telethon approach.
- Local officials and stakeholders emphasized the importance of holding the Grammys to support the economy and provide aid to the community.
