2022 Grammys Rescheduled After COVID-19 Postponement
The 64th annual Grammy Awards which was postponed earlier this month due to the COVID-19 pandemic has been rescheduled to Sunday, 3rd April 2022.
The ceremony will broadcast live on Sunday, April 3, at 8 p.m. ET from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The new date was confirmed by CBS and the Recording Academy. The host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show, Trevor Noah, will return as host.
Recall that on 5th January 5, the music industry group explained their decision to postpone the ceremony.
The statement at the time read in part;
“The health and safety of those in our music community, the live audience, and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly to produce our show remain our top priority. Given the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant, holding the show on January 31 simply contains too many risks.”
The Grammys is one of several high-profile events in entertainment rocked by the latest COVID-19 pandemic, including the 2022 Golden Globes on 9th January which nixed the red carpet and cameras this year.
The Sundance Film Festival was also transformed into a digital-only event for the second year in a row, after previous plans to meet in Park City, Utah, were cancelled due to the Omicron variant.
