The Grammy Awards have been held in many prestigious locations. In 1971 the Grammy Awards had its first live telecast and therefore had its own sole venue each year for the telecast. From 1963 to 1970 the Academy aired a TV special annually called "The Best On Record" which highlighted the awards dinners. Since 2000, the Grammy Awards have been held in the Staples Center located in Downtown Los Angeles.

Non-televised era

From 1959 to 1970 Awards dinners were held in the following locations simultaneously on the same day:

Televised era

The Hollywood Palladium, four-time ceremony site, in 2005
Uris Theatre (now known as Gershwin Theatre), in 2007
Sixteen-time Grammy venue Shrine Auditorium, in 2004
Radio City Music Hall, a five-time ceremony venue, in 2010
Madison Square Garden, a three time ceremony venue, in 2003
The Staples Center, a thirteen-time venue for the Grammy ceremony, in 2012

Grammy Award ceremonies have been televised since 1971. The Shrine Auditorium has hosted the most Grammy telecasts. If the upcoming 2016 edition is included, the Shrine Auditorium and the Staples Center tie for hosting the most ceremonies, with sixteen each. Los Angeles has held a total of 31 Grammy telecasts (32 if 2016 is included). The last time the Grammy Awards took place outside of Los Angeles was in 2003.
