2025 Grammys Still Set to Air Amid Los Angeles Wildfires

“In close coordination with local authorities to ensure public safety and responsible use of area resources, the 67th Grammy Awards telecast on CBS on February 2nd will proceed as planned,” the statement said. “This year’s show, however, will carry a renewed sense of purpose: raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours.”

“In challenging times, music has the power to heal, comfort, and unite like nothing else,” it continued. “The Grammys will not only honor the artistry and achievements of our music community but also serve as a platform to amplify the spirit of resilience that defines this great city of Los Angeles.”

The wildfires, which began on January 7, have resulted in Los Angeles neighborhoods like the Pacific Palisades and Altadena being destroyed. Artists like Madlib even lost their homes as a result of the fires.

Although progress has been made against the fires, the threat could continue thanks to dangerous winds throughout Southern California this week, according to CNN.
