Grammy Awards 2022 OFFICIALLY Rescheduled To April 3 In Las Vegas-Deets Inside
Grammy Awards 2022 will also be the first time the concert has been hosted in a city without a chapter of the Recording Academy.
The Grammy Awards ceremony honouring top performances in music has reportedly been rescheduled to April 3 in Las Vegas. The awards were to take place on January 31 in downtown Los Angeles, however, the unprecedented surge of Omicron variant infections has sparked a new wave of COVID-19.
Comedian Trevor Noah will host the ceremony, which will be televised and streamed live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Interestingly, this will be the first time the telecast has been shifted to another place somewhere other than Los Angeles or New York since 1973 when it was staged in Nashville.
It will also be the first time the concert has been hosted in a city without a chapter of the Recording Academy. Nominations for the 2022 Grammys were announced in November 2021.
Pianist and bandleader Jon Batiste led a field that ranged from rap to jazz music and embraced newcomers from teen pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo to veteran crooner Tony Bennett, 95, who won his first Grammy in 1963.
The Recording Academy, which organises the annual music awards, also shared Harvey Mason Jr.'s statement on its Instagram account.
American record producer, songwriter, and movie producer Harvey is currently the President of the Recording Academy. The part of the statement read as, "We are excited to take the GRAMMYs to Las Vegas for the very first time, and to put on a world class show. 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. - Onward, Harvey Mason jr."
Meanwhile, the 2021 Grammy Awards were also postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The ceremony was staged in March instead of January and included a mix of pre-recorded and live segments in front of a small, socially distanced audience.
