The 64^th annual Grammys will be hosted by Trevor Noah and take place live at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 3. The ceremony will be available to stream on Paramount+ and broadcast live on CBS. The show was postponed from its original January date due to concerns related to COVID-19. This marks the second year in a row the Grammys have been postponed due to the pandemic, as a 2021 spike of COVID-19 cases in California forced the awards to be pushed back to March 14.
