The 2022 Grammy Awards Ceremony has been rescheduled for April 3 and will now be broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 3. Originally scheduled for a January date in Los Angeles, the ceremony was postponed due to a spike in COVID-19 infections.

Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, issued a statement on January 18: “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. We appreciate the leadership CBS and our production partners at Fulwell 73 have shown during these challenging weeks and the flexibility of everyone who worked toward this solution.”

The ceremony will  be broadcast live from 7 to 11:30 p.m. on the CBS and will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+. Trevor Noah, the Emmy Award-winning host of The Daily Show, will return as master of ceremonies for what is billed as music’s biggest night.

Though this is the first time the Grammys will be held in Las Vegas, the city has hosted the Latin Grammys six times since 2014.
