Warner Music, Sony Music, BMG Cancel Grammy Week Events Due to Los Angeles Wildfires


Warner Music Group has become the second major music company to cancel its traditional Grammy Week party due to the wildfires still raging in L.A.

Warner Music Group has become the second major music company to cancel its traditional Grammy Week party due to the wildfires still raging in Los Angeles, a rep for the company confirms to Variety. Sources say the decision was made over the weekend, when WMG committed $1 million to the relief effort, via the WMG / Blavatnik Family Foundation Social Justice Fund. Universal Music announced on Monday that its annual showcase (which was canceled last year as well, due to layoffs at the company) and Grammy afterparty were called off this year, just hours after the Recording Academy posted a statement saying that the Grammy ceremony will go on as scheduled on Sunday, Feb. 2 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
