GRAMMYS On The Hill, the Recording Academy's signature event in Washington, D.C., is celebrating its 25th anniversary this month with three days of events and initiatives. See the full schedule for GRAMMYS On The Hill 2026 below.
GRAMMYS On The Hill Awards: Tuesday, April 21
This year, the annual GRAMMYS On The Hill Awards will honor congressional honorees Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) and Rep. María Salazar (R-FL) for their leadership and commitment to advancing the music community and the broader creative ecosystem.
The event will also feature performances from Israel Houghton, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Molly Tuttle, students from the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, and more.
GRAMMYS On The Hill Advocacy Day: Wednesday, April 22
GRAMMYS On The Hill Advocacy Day will bring Grammy winners and Grammy nominees, songwriters, producers, and other music advocates to Capitol Hill to meet with lawmakers to discuss one of the most pressing issues facing creators today: the impact of artificial intelligence on the music community.
GRAMMYS On The Hill Future Forum: Thursday, April 23
GRAMMYS On The Hill 2026 will conclude with the third annual GRAMMYS On The Hill Future Forum, a conference exploring how music strengthens cities and communities, the role of music education in preparing the next generation for success, and how artists can navigate the evolving AI landscape.
The Future Forum will also feature a candid conversation with Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. and YouTube Global Head of Music Lyor Cohen.
@grammys AI is reshaping music. The rules need to catch up. As artificial intelligence transforms the music landscape, the Recording Academy is advocating for policies at GRAMMYS On The Hill to ensure human creators are protected, credited, and fairly compensated. It’s critical that effective guardrails are in place to preserve the essence of human creativity.
