After last year’s efforts for a COVID-19-safe ceremony, the Grammys return for another round this weekend. The 64th Annual Grammy Awards had originally been set for Los Angeles at the end of January, but the Omicron surge resulted in a postponement and a change of venue to the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.
The main event begins Sunday (April 3) at 8 p.m. Eastern on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+, which offers a week-long free trial.
