How and where each performance will take place is a mystery, however, throughout the show, the Recording Academy will "pay tribute to the independent venues, which have been greatly impacted by the pandemic."
The Academy said, “From bartenders to box office managers, those who work day-to-day at the Troubadour (Los Angeles), The Hotel Café (Los Angeles), the Apollo Theater (New York City), and The Station Inn (Nashville) will present various categories throughout the night."
To catch all the action, tune into the 2021 Grammy Awards, host by Trevor Noah, on March 14 at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
