Presented by Soundcheck and Boomyard, the event centers on this year's Best Reggae Album nominees and the broader movement they represent. The celebration highlights music connected to nominated projects from Lila Iké (Treasure Self Love), Vybz Kartel (Heart & Soul), Keznamdi (BLXDD & FYAH), Mortimer (From Within), and Jesse Royal (No Place Like Home), reflecting the full spectrum of modern reggae and dancehall — conscious, melodic, militant, and unapologetically global.
Rather than a traditional showcase, the night is set up as a cultural link-up. Expect live performances, DJs, and special guests in an intimate setting that's known for hosting some of LA's most respected underground music events. Delicious Pizza, long associated with the city's creative and independent scenes, provides the kind of close-up atmosphere where the music hits harder and the crowd feels connected.
The Reggae and Dancehall Grammy Celebration takes place Friday, January 30, 2026, at Delicious Pizza, located at 5419 West Adams Boulevard in Los Angeles. While ticket pricing and tiers were not available at the time of this posting, Grammy-week events like this typically fill up quickly, and fans are encouraged to keep an eye on official promoter channels for ticket announcements and entry details.
As the Grammys approach, this event stands out as a reminder that reggae and dancehall continue to shape global music far beyond award categories. It's a night built for the culture — celebrating the artists, the sound, and the community that keeps it moving forward.
