Written by djfrosty on January 29, 2025
Justin Tranter, a Grammy nominee for song of the year for co-writing Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!,” is set to host the 67th annual Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony on Sunday (Feb. 2). Tranter also hosted last year’s Premiere Ceremony, where the vast majority of Grammys are presented.
This year’s Premiere Ceremony, to be held at Peacock Theater at the LA Live complex in Los Angeles, will stream live at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT on the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel and on live.GRAMMY.com.
The opening number will feature a performance by current nominees Yolanda Adams, Wayne Brady, Deborah Cox, Scott Hoying, Angelique Kidjo and Taj Mahal. Six other current nominees – Joe Bonamassa, Joyce DiDonato, Béla Fleck, Renée Fleming, Muni Long and Kelli O’Hara – are also set to perform, as is Grammy-winning contemporary classical composer Kevin Puts.

Harvey Mason jr., Recording Academy and MusiCares CEO, and Tammy Hurt, chair of the academy’s board of trustees, will provide opening remarks.
“The Premiere Ceremony will not only kick off our Grammy Sunday, it will provide an opportunity to show that in times of adversity, music has the power to be used for good, to help our community unite, and to show our community’s resilience,” Mason said in a statement.
This year, both the Premiere Ceremony and main Grammy Awards telecast will have an added sense of purpose: raising additional funds to support Los Angeles wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders.
The 67th Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony is produced by Branden Chapman, Ruby Marchand, Lindsay Saunders Carl and Rex Supa on behalf of the Recording Academy. Greg V. Fera is executive producer and Cheche Alara is music producer and music director.
SiriusXM will be backstage during the ceremony capturing interviews with nominees and winners for their Grammy Sunday broadcast on The Grammy Channel, channel 17 and on the SiriusXM app.
The 67th annual Grammy Awards will broadcast live following the Premiere Ceremony on CBS and streaming live and on-demand on Paramount+ from 8-11:30 p.m. ET/5-8:30 p.m. PT.
