The 64th annual Grammy Awards which was postponed from its initial January 31 airdate due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will now broadcast the live ceremony on Sunday, April 3, at 8 p.m. ET from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The new date on Tuesday was confirmed in a statement by Recording Academy CEO, Harvey Mason jr.

“I’m so pleased to let you know that the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards have been rescheduled and will now be broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 3 (8:00-11:30 PM, live ET/5:00-8:30 PM, live PT) on the CBS Television Network and will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+”, Harvey stated.

The awards had been set to take place on Jan. 31 in downtown Los Angeles, but was moved as Omicron variant sparked a new wave of COVID-19 infections. To this end, the academy had issued a statement on the 5th January.

“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 remains our top priority. Given the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant, holding the show on January 31st simply contains too many risks. We look forward to celebrating Music’s Biggest Night on a future date, which will be announced soon”,

Trevor Noah, the Emmy Award-winning host of “The Daily Show,” will return as master of ceremonies for the event.
