Grammy Awards Move To Sin City - Noise11.com (original) (raw)

The postponed Grammy Awards have been rescheduled to 3 April 2022 and will now be held in Las Vegas.
For some bewildering reason the original 31 January date for the Grammy Awards was postponed. The original location was to have been in Los Angeles and the venue formerly known as Staples Center. A simple solution should have been to announce the winners but instead the Grammy Awards is more about being seen than doing, so the event became bigger than the accolades. It makes sense … where bigger to demonstrate bullshit than Las Vegas!
The 2022 Grammy Awards is doing one good thing. Joni Mitchell has been named MusiCares Person of the Year and will be honored as part of Grammy Week.
