UMG to Cancel Pre-Grammy Events, Will Focus on Wildfire Relief

Jan 14, 2025

Universal Music Group, the parent label to acts like Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar, is canceling all of its Grammy-related events and will redirect those resources to aid wildfire relief efforts.

“Today we have cancelled all of our Grammy-related events, including the Artist Showcase and After-Grammy Party, and will redirect the resources that would have been used for those events to assist those affected by the wildfires,” the label said. “Our deepest gratitude goes to the first responders and emergency personnel, who continue to perform heroically.”

UMG is the parent company to Republic, Interscope, Island, Def Jam, Capitol and more record labels. Acts signed to the company include Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Drake, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Doechii, Justin Bieber, Stevie Wonder and more.

UMG’s annual pre-Grammy artist showcase is where the label debuts new acts and highlights some of its top performers, who are usually nominated for several Grammys. The company has also debuted trailers for films and documentaries it produces at the brunch. 

“L.A. is home to so many of us. We are committed to helping and supporting the music community, our artists, our teams and the people of Los Angeles get through this horrific episode,” the label continued in its statement.

UMG’s announcement comes on the same day the Grammys announced that the awards show will still take place on Feb. 2 in Los Angeles and that the telecast will raise funds to support wildfire relief efforts. The show will air live on CBS from the Crypto.com Arena.
