How will the Los Angeles flames effect the Grammys?
The 2025 Grammy Awards will take place as planned, but with a focus on wildfire relief activities.
Each year, the Recording Academy arranges a slew of activities to welcome the music business during Grammy Week, and record labels follow suit. Many organizations, including Universal Music Group, BMG, and Warner Music Group, have canceled their plans in favor of donating resources to wildfire relief and rebuilding efforts in the Los Angeles area.
On Wednesday, the Recording Academy said that it has reduced pre-Grammy week preparations to just four events, each with a fundraising component.
The annual pre-Grammy Black Music Collective event, the Grammy advocacy brunch, and other events planned for the immersive pop-up Grammy house have all been canceled. At least 16 pre-Grammy events sponsored by the Recording Academy have been canceled.

“We recognize how painful the past week has been for this city and its residents. This is our home, and it is home to thousands of music professionals, many of whom have been badly impacted,” Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said in a statement.
Last Monday, the Recording Academy and MusiCares announced a $1 million commitment to the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort. According to the letter, other contributions have already resulted in the distribution of $2 million in emergency help.
How is the broader music industry reacting to the fires?
Universal Music Group, one of the top three major record labels, has canceled all Grammy-related events. These include the yearly artist showcase, which takes place on Saturday, and the after-party on Sunday during Grammy week. Instead, those dollars will go toward wildfire assistance.
BMG will no longer host its pre-Grammy party, while a spokeswoman for Warner Music Group confirmed to The Associated Press that the major label will not hold a party this year, instead “redirecting funds to support efforts.” WMG and the Blavatnik Family Foundation Social Justice Fund gave $1 million earlier this week to help with fire relief and reconstruction operations in the Los Angeles area.
Sony Music Group said that its events during Grammy week and following the ceremony will be canceled in favor of redirecting efforts and funds to local relief efforts.
MusiCares hosts its annual Persons of the Year benefit gala in the Los Angeles Convention Center, a few days before the Grammys. The charity provides financial, personal, and medical aid to music workers. The 2025 gala will still take place on January 31, but this year’s tribute to the Grateful Dead will include an added commitment to wildfire relief.
“At our upcoming Persons of the Year, we will make a special appeal for donations to support our wildfire relief efforts,” the Recording Academy wrote in an email to its members on Tuesday.
