The 67th Grammy Awards will take place tonight (February 2) at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, with a host of rock, metal and alternative artists among the shortlisted nominees.

The show will be hosted once again by Trevor Noah and the evening will be broadcast on CBS and live and on demand through Paramount+ with Showtime, and on demand from Monday for Paramount+ Essential subscribers in the US. Even if you’re out of the country on holiday when the ceremony airs, you’ll still be able to stream the event live through a VPN.

You can also watch Live From The Red Carpet over on the official Grammy website.

As always, the Grammy Awards cover a vast range of musical genres across 94 categories, with covering everything from rock, pop and metal, to classical, jazz, R&B and rap.

I’ve got my eyes on a number of rock, metal and alternative categories, with the highlight for me being the Best Metal Performance shortlist which sees Metallica, Judas Priest, Spiritbox, Knocked Loose featuring Poppy, and Gojira, Marina Viotti & Victor Le Masne go head-to-head.

Best Rock Performance sees entries by Pearl Jam, Green Day, The Beatles, The Black Keys, Idles and St. Vincent, while the Best Rock Album will be contested by, The Black Crowes' Happiness Bastards, voted Album of The Year by Classic Rock's writers, Pearl Jam's Dark Matter, Romance by Fontaines D.C., The Rolling Stones' Hackney Diamonds, Green Day's Saviors and Tangk by Idles.

Elsewhere, The Clash and Prince are among the artists who’ll be honoured with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, which recognises performers "who, during their lifetimes, have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field of recording."

Artists set to perform at the ceremony are Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, RAYE, Sabrina Carpenter, Benson Boone, Charli cxc, Doechii, Shakira and Teddy Swims.

This year’s Grammy Awards will also raise funds in support of wildfire relief and help musicians who have been impacted by the devastating wildfires in LA.
