JUSTIN TRANTER RETURNS AS GRAMMY PREMIERE HOST

Songwriter Justin Tranter will return as host of the 2/2 Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony, which will reveal dozens of winners beginning at 12:30pm PT from the Peacock Theater (which you may recall as either the Nokia Theatre or Microsoft Theater).

The event will begin with a performance by nominees Yolanda Adams, Wayne Brady, Deborah Cox, Scott Hoying, Angelique Kidjo and Taj Mahal.

Joe Bonamassa, Joyce DiDonato, Béla Fleck, Renée Fleming, Muni Long and Kelli O’Hara will also take the stage. Bob Clearmountain, Rhiannon Giddens, Queen Sheba, Anoushka Shankar and producer Jimmy Jam will present awards.

Tranter, who hosted in 2024, is nominated for Song of the Year as a co-writer of a little number called "Good Luck, Babe!"

The Premiere Ceremony, which will air live on YouTube and Grammy.com, is being produced by Branden Chapman, Ruby Marchand, Lindsay Saunders Carl and Rex Supa on behalf of the Recording Academy. Greg V. Fera is the executive producer and Cheche Alara is the music producer and music director.

The 67th Grammy Awards will follow Tranter and co. at 5pm PT from the nearby Crypto.com Arena (which you may recall as Staples Center).
