The Recording Academy will produce the post-telecast 2020 GRAMMY Celebration, overseeing the entertainment, décor and logistics involved in bringing the annual event to life. More than 5,000 after-party guests, including GRAMMY winners, nominees, industry executives and celebrities, will be taken on an exotic trip through North Africa with influences of Casablanca. The event will feature Moorish architectural details and décor, a Moroccan-themed menu and unforgettable live performances.
Guests will indulge in the masterful culinary skills of "Top Chef" winner Joe Flamm, former Executive Chef of Chicago's Michelin-starred Spiaggia and Café Spiaggia, primed to open his debut restaurant in Chicago's Fulton Market District this summer. Flamm, in partnership with Levy Restaurants, has curated an innovative menu to complement the unique theme of this year's GRAMMY Celebration. The menu will feature four North African-inspired food stations inclusive of appetizers, entrees and desserts, all with a modern twist.
Live from STAPLES Center, and hosted by Alicia Keys, the 62nd GRAMMY Awards will be broadcast live in HDTV and 5.1 surround sound on the CBS Television Network Sunday, Jan. 26, 2020, at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT.
