The Grammy Awards ceremony, the equivalent of the Oscars for the American music industry, will take place on April 3 in Las Vegas, and not on January 31 in Los Angeles where it was originally scheduled, the organizers announced on Tuesday January 18. . The 64th edition will have place in the hall of the MGM Grand Garden Arena, details a press release.
Due to the explosion of cases of the Omicron variant, the Recording Academy, which organizes the Grammy Awards, had already announced in early January that it could not maintain the show scheduled for January 31 in Los Angeles, judging that this presented “too many risks” in terms of health for the hundreds of artists and technicians mobilized.
Omicron has become the ultra-majority Covid-19 variant in the United States and continues to spread in California where more than a million new cases have been reported in one week. In total, seven million cases have been identified since the start of the pandemic in the most populous state in the country (about 40 million inhabitants).
