When are the 2025 Grammys?

The Grammy Awards is due to take place on Sunday 2 February at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

It is expected to start at 5pm (local time) on Sunday, which will be 1am (GMT) Monday in the UK, and last for about three and a half hours.

Trevor Noah will host this year’s ceremony, for the fifth time in succession.

The South African comedian, writer and presenter is best known as the former host of The Daily Show.

After the wildfires which ravaged parts of Los Angeles this winter, the Recording Academy has said the event will take on a slightly different tone with the emphasis on raising funds for those affected by the blazes in California.

Harvey Mason Jr, CEO of the Recording Academy, said: “It’s not going to be a typical Grammy party atmosphere…Of course, we’re going to honor music, but our goal is to utilise music to make a difference.”
