The organizers of the GRAMMY have unveiled a schedule of events leading up to the 2025 Grammy Awards main event, which will be held at the Arena in Los Angeles next year.
Naija News understands that the 2025 Grammy Awards season is already in full swing, with a pivotal event scheduled for Friday, 8 November 2024: the nomination ceremony.
In light of the year’s significant transformations, the Recording Academy has made several modifications to various award categories to ” enhance the integrity and inclusivity of the GRAMMY Awards,” as reported by the officials.
These revised categories are designed to align with contemporary industry standards and to celebrate a wider spectrum of musical genres.
Eagerly anticipated by both fans and industry professionals, the live broadcast on live.GRAMMY.com will unveil which artists are vying for the most prestigious accolades in the music industry.
The details of these updated categories have been recently disclosed on the Academy’s website.
Naija News reports that this year, the Academy has introduced a “Best Dance Pop Recording” category, replacing the previous Best Pop Dance Recording, and has also reorganized the Best Remixed Recording category within the Pop & Dance/Electronic Field.
These adjustments reflect the Academy’s dedication to supporting the evolving music landscape, thereby fostering an awards process that truly “empowers creators,” as articulated by Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr.
In his address to the Voting Members, Mason highlighted the GRAMMY’s rich legacy as a 67-year tradition, emphasizing that “every vote has the power to shape the future of music.”
Furthermore, today’s nominations serve as a prelude to the grand finale, the 67th GRAMMY Awards on Sunday, 2 February, which will be live-streamed from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
In addition, the Academy has updated the eligibility and submission guidelines, particularly in the Songwriter of the Year category, which now permits songwriters to qualify with a reduced number of songs, aiming to ” welcome more voices” into the field.
