Five-time Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and actor Josh Groban and two-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Teddy Swims will perform at the Recording Academy and Grammy Museum's 2026 Grammy Hall Of Fame Gala in a special tribute honoring Warner Records.
The label is this year's recipient of the Visionary Of Music Award, recognizing its enduring contributions to recorded music and its long history of supporting artists and recordings that have left a lasting mark on music and culture. The Gala will take place on Friday, May 8, at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.
"Artist development has always been at the heart of Warner Records and remains our greatest strength," said Aaron Bay-Schuck and Tom Corson, co-chairmen of Warner Records. "Everything we do begins with a deep commitment to supporting artists, building careers over time, and giving creative voices the freedom and foundation for long-term success. We're grateful to the Recording Academy and the Grammy Museum to be recognized in this way. It's a meaningful honor for our entire team and a reflection of the extraordinary artists and recordings that define Warner Records."
"For more than 60 years, Warner Records has been a trailblazing force in the industry, nurturing and elevating some of music's most influential acts," said Harvey Mason jr., CEO of the Recording Academy. "I've long admired their unwavering commitment to championing artists and creative excellence, as well as their ability to evolve with the industry while continuing to shape its future. Warner is more than deserving of this honor."
The Gala will celebrate the 2026 Grammy Hall Of Fame inducted recordings, a group of 14 titles spanning nearly a century of recorded music.
