The Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala is officially making its return. The legendary music industry party is set for February 6, 2027, at the Beverly Hilton, marking the first edition since Davis passed away on June 22 at 94.
For anyone who doesn’t know the lore, this gala has been running since 1976, when it started as a simple post-Grammy party for Barry Manilow. Over the decades it grew into one of the most coveted invites in all of music, with the Recording Academy becoming an official partner in 2009. Last year’s event featured a surprise video intro from Barack Obama, plus performances from Jelly Roll, John Legend and more.
The 2027 gala will honor Davis’life and legacy, with additional details expected closer to the date. According to Grammys CEO Harvey Mason Jr., the night is all about carrying forward the tradition Davis built over five decades. Who do you hope performs at the tribute?
