Music’s biggest night is here.

The Grammy Awards, which will take place on Sunday, Feb. 2 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles will be hosted by Trevor Noah for the fifth year in a row.

Fans will be tuning in to catch their favorite artists walking the red carpet, performing this year’s biggest songs, presenting Gramophones, and perhaps taking some home during music’s biggest night.

Beyoncé could make history this year, extending her record after winning 32 Grammy Awards throughout her career. Meanwhile, new artists will gain recognition from the Recording Academy for the first time, a massive honor.

This year’s awards show will also be reimagined following the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. The Recording Academy and MusiCares launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort To Support Music Professionals and has already raised over $4 million for people in the music industry affected by the wildfires.

Who is hosting the 2025 Grammy Awards?

For the fifth consecutive year, Trevor Noah will be hosting the 2025 Grammy Awards.

Noah, 40, served as the master of ceremonies from 2021 to 2024. He told PEOPLE in January 2024 about how music’s biggest night is unlike other awards shows.

“In a weird way, I’ve come to understand, it’s almost like I’m at a huge party, and I’m trying to work while I’m at the party,” he said at the time. “And then I’ve also learned to have a good time. It’s one of the best concerts in my opinion.”

“I don’t think there are many shows that can rival what the Grammys puts on in terms of a collection of artists. Where else are you going to get to watch Dua LipaBurna BoyBillie Eilish, you name it, on the same stage? That’s something I don’t take for granted and really enjoy.”

Before Noah began his stint as the Grammys host, Alicia Keys held the title from 2019-2020 and James Corden hosted in 2017 and 2018. Before the Cats actor’s hosting gigs, LL Cool J served as the emcee from 2012 to 2016.
