The Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala is set to return in February 2027, continuing the longstanding industry event held the night before the Grammy Awards. Multiple outlets report it will take place on Saturday, Feb. 6, 2027.
The gala is scheduled at the Beverly Hilton, its longtime venue. After music executive Clive Davis died on June 22 at age 81, the 2027 event is described as the first to take place without him physically present. Coverage also frames the gathering as a tribute to Davis’ life and legacy, with the Recording Academy continuing the tradition he helped build. While the outlets differ slightly in emphasis—some focusing on the event’s continuity and timing, others on the tribute framing—they agree on the date, location, and that Davis will not attend.
Across reports, the common theme is that the pre-Grammy gala remains an annual fixture in the awards-week calendar, shifting from Davis’ personal attendance to a commemorative format following his death.
