Key Dates, New Categories Unveiled For 2025 Grammy Awards

The organizers of the 2025 Grammy Awards have revealed the timeline for key events leading up to the prestigious ceremony, which will take place at the Arena in Los Angeles next year.

The Grammy season is already underway, with an important event scheduled for Friday, 8th November 2024—the nomination ceremony.

This year, the Recording Academy has made changes to several award categories in order to improve the fairness and inclusivity of the Grammy process. These updated categories aim to reflect the current trends in the music industry and celebrate a broader range of musical genres.

The changes include a new “Best Dance Pop Recording” category, replacing the former Best Pop Dance Recording category, as well as a reorganization of the Best Remixed Recording category within the Pop & Dance/Electronic Field. These updates are part of the Academy’s commitment to supporting the evolving music scene and ensuring the awards process truly “empowers creators,” as stated by Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr.

The nominations, which will be announced live on live.GRAMMY.com, will reveal which artists are competing for the most prestigious honors in the music industry. Harvey Mason Jr. also emphasized the Grammy’s long-standing history, reminding Voting Members that “every vote has the power to shape the future of music.”

In addition to the category updates, the Academy has revised the eligibility and submission rules. For example, the Songwriter of the Year category now allows songwriters to qualify with fewer songs, making it more accessible and welcoming to a broader range of voices.
