All About the 2024 Grammys

This year’s awards show featured only one metal genre specific category. Related categories included three rock categories and two alternative categories.

Amidst the grandeur of Music’s Biggest Night, the 66th Annual Grammy Awards promises an array of star-studded performers. Burna Boy, Luke Combs, Billie Eilish, Billy Joel, Dua Lipa, Joni Mitchell, Olivia Rodrigo, Travis Scott, SZA, and U2 are set to take the stage.

The Grammy Awards have witnessed iconic moments in the realm of rock music throughout its history. From electrifying performances to groundbreaking moments that shaped the genre, rock has left a mark on Music’s Biggest Night. One unforgettable moment occurred in 1988 when U2’s album “The Joshua Tree” clinched Album of the Year, solidifying their status as global rock legends. Another highlight was Nirvana’s iconic 1992 performance, as they graced the stage with “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” epitomizing the grunge movement. The Grammy stage has also seen epic collaborations, such as the legendary duet between Mick Jagger and Tina Turner in 1985.
