On Jan. 18, the Recording Academy announced a rescheduled date for the 2022 Grammy Awards. Instead of taking place in LA, the award show was relocated to Las Vegas.
“The 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards® have been rescheduled and will now broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sun, April 3 (8-11:30 p.m., live ET/5-8:30 p.m., live PT) on the CBS Television Network and will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+,” the Recording Academy wrote in a press release.
The Recording Academy’s statement continues, “Trevor Noah, Comedy Central’s Emmy® Award-winning “The Daily Show” host and comedian, will return as master of ceremonies for Music’s Biggest Night®. The show moved from its original date of Jan. 31 amid growing concerns surrounding the Omicron variant.”
