Los Angeles: The 64th edition of Grammy Awards ceremony honouring top performances in music has been rescheduled for April 03 in Las Vegas, the Recording Academy and broadcaster CBS said in a statement.

The annual ceremony was initially scheduled to be held indoors in Los Angeles on January 31, was postponed on January 5 because of rising Covid-19 cases.

It will be broadcast live on CBS and hosted by Trevor Noah. 

The ceremony is usually held at the Crypto.com Arena, formerly known as the Staples Center, but has sometimes been held in New York City.

In 2021, the Grammys were also postponed owing to COVID-19, and were ultimately held outdoors at the Los Angeles Convention Center in March. 

In the meantime, the Country Music Awards, which was scheduled to be held on April 3, will move its ceremony to a later date in April to accommodate the Grammys.

Performers for the ceremony have not yet been announced. However, nominations were announced in November.

The Grammy Award, or just Grammy, is an award presented by the Recording Academy to recognize "Outstanding Achievement in the music industry" of the United States. The trophy depicts a gilded gramophone. 

The Grammys are the first of the Big Three networks' major music awards held annually.
