\n\tSpotify\u2019s annual Best New Artist pre-Grammy showcase is the last music<\/a> event to be canceled in the wake of the Los Angeles fires. And while the 2025 Grammy Awards<\/a> are still slated to take place at the beginning of February, the three major labels have opted to cancel their Grammy week events.<\/p>\n \n\tUniversal Music Group, parent company to acts like Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar, announced Monday that all of its Grammy-related events \u2014 including its annual artist showcase (typically held the Saturday before as a forum to debut new acts and highlight its Grammy nominees) and its after-party would be canceled. The Santa Monica-based company, whose employees living in nearby Palisades were hit particularly hard, instead said it would be redirecting resources to aid wildfire relief efforts.<\/p>\n \n\tSony Music Entertainment, home to Columbia, RCA and Epic Records, also called off its Grammy afterparty. The coveted invite has previously brought guests like Adele, Harry Styles and Doja Cat to celebrations held at the Bel Air Hotel, Hollywood\u2019s Mother Wolf and Neuehouse, among other locations. The company will instead redirect funds to focus on local relief efforts in L.A.<\/p>\n \n\tWarner Music Group, whose acts include Dua Lipa, Bruno Mars and Benson Boone, did the same. <\/p>\n \n\tSo far, the Clive Davis pre-Grammy gala, which celebrates its 50th year, is still on per sources.<\/p>\n \n\tThe 2025 Grammy Awards will air live on CBS from the Crypto.com Arena in downtown L.A. Beyonc\u00e9 leads the pack of nominees with 11 nominations. Kendrick Lamar, Charli XCX and Billie Eilish are all up for seven awards, with Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan close behind with six nominations. <\/p>\n \n\tSee below for a list of additional Grammy week events impacted by the wildfires<\/a>:<\/p>\n \n\tSpotify Best New Artist Party: <\/strong>The top streamer is canceling its pre-Grammy concert that usually features performances by those nominated for best new artist. \u201cWe\u2019ve spent the last few days considering how to best show up for L.A., the music industry, and the creative community.
