Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala Set for February 2027, a Tribute to the ‘Life and Legacy’ of Legendary Music Executive

The legendary Pre-Grammy Gala, organized by the industry icon Clive Davis, will return on February 6, 2027, at the Beverly Hilton. This marks the first edition of the party to take place following Davis' death on June 22 at the age of 94. The Pre-Grammy Gala has been a staple since 1976, initially as a post-Grammy celebration for Barry Manilow.

In 2009, the Recording Academy became an official partner, elevating the event's prestige. Last year, Davis' Pre-Grammy Gala featured performances from top executives such as Jelly Roll, Alex Warren, John Legend, and Olivia Dean. The event has consistently attracted top talent and executives in the music industry. In a statement, Grammys CEO Harvey Mason Jr. praised Clive Davis for building the gala into a highly-anticipated event over five decades.

He emphasized Davis' dedication to the music community and the spirit he brought to the gala. Each year, the gala honors the life and legacy of Davis, with further details to be unveiled closer to the event.
