Everything you want to know about The 60th Grammy Awards 2018:
Where are the Grammy’s?
They moved! For the first time in 15 years, this year’s Grammy will take place in New York, specifically at Madison Square Garden.
And with the city of New York comes the climate of New York: So far, the weather forecast for Sunday looks rainy and not particularly hot. Expect many hasty red carpet interviews, radiators and stylists desperately trying to combine clothes and suits with warm clothes.
The reason why they occur in January and not in February is due to a programming conflict this year with the Winter Olympics starting next month. Another novelty of this year’s program is the ability of Grammy voters to vote online for the first time, which could impact the bottom line.
When are the Grammy’s?
The stars will arrive on the red carpet at 18:30. ET (11:30 pm British time), and the ceremony will begin on Sunday, January 28, 2018 at 19:30.
Where do I watch it?
The show will be broadcast live on CBS from 19:30. until 23:00 ET (23:30 – UK time) – you can see all the red carpet dramas at 18:30 ET / 23:30 UK.
The 60th Grammy Award 2018 is the 46th year in a row that CBS has released the program (the network has an agreement to broadcast it by 2026).
How can I stream the Grammy’s?

Who is hosting this year Grammy?
James Corden will welcome the debate again, will come back as host.The host of the Late Late Show presented the ceremony for the first time last year and replaced veteran leader LL Cool J.
The organizers expect him to be in his best behavior after being recorded by misjudging jokes by Harvey Weinstein at a charity event in Hollywood late last year.
James Corden will return in the second year, which will probably put this year’s carpool karaoke segment in a yellow cab. When in New York! And given the night of Broadway legends, you can bet Tony’s repeated host will not miss the opportunity to trade.
