HUNTR/X, Art Garfunkel, Clipse and more light up pre-Grammy gala hosted by Clive Davis
February 1, 2026
Music mogul Clive Davis held his annual, star-studded pre-Grammys gala at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California. The event Saturday was the 51st anniversary of the fundraiser. Republic Records founders, CEO Monte Lipman and COO Avery Lipman, were honored with the 2026 Grammy Salute to Industry Icons Award. Performers included HUNTR/X from “Kpop Demon Hunters,” Olivia Dean, sombr, Alex Warren, MGK, Jelly Roll, Clipse, John Legend, Art Garfunkel and others. It was a celebration of music past and present, like when Jennifer Hudson paid homage to the late Roberta Flack with “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.” Dan + Shay did the same for Art Garfunkel.
