Widespread speculation arose over the past few days concerning the Grammy Awards ceremony reportedly taking place at the majestic Giza Pyramids on October 22.
Al-Ahram and other media outlets claimed that the Recording Academy, the organization responsible for the Grammy Awards, is set to host a landmark event in Egypt for the very first time, staged against the backdrop of the Giza Pyramids.
“Scheduled for the evening of October 22 beneath the Egyptian sky, the event promises an extraordinary synthesis of historical grandeur and modern artistry,” Al-Ahram reported.
The celebration comes ahead of the 68th annual Grammy Awards, for which a host of musicians worldwide are currently competing.
However, this news has not been confirmed yet by the Grammy organizers. The official Grammy website clarified that the nominations for the global awards will be announced on November 7 via a live broadcast on their official YouTube channel, leading to public confusion about the nature of the anticipated event in Egypt.
A source from the event management team clarified to ET Bil Arabi that the function being held at the Pyramids is unrelated to the main global Grammy Awards ceremony, explaining that some media outlets reported the news inaccurately.
The source revealed that the event is being organized by the owner of the Grammy Awards rights and will feature the launch of a new, dedicated Middle East award that will officially be presented in 2026. Details of this new award will be announced during a private dinner held at the event itself.
