Recording Academy to Open First-Ever Grammy House in Egypt

The Recording Academy’s immersive pop-up experience, Grammy House, will expand globally in 2026 with the launch of Grammy House Giza in Egypt.

Previous Grammy House activations were held in Los Angeles and New York.

Grammy House Giza will bring together artists, producers, songwriters and industry leaders from around the world for several days of programming in October 2026.

The event will feature live performances, cultural exchanges, educational panels, and collaborative sessions aimed to stimulate creativity, encourage understanding and build the worldwide music community.

“It is a thrill to expand the Grammy House experience globally, and to see it come to life at one of the world’s most iconic locations,” Harvey Mason Jr, CEO of the Recording Academy, said in a statement. “Grammy House Giza represents the spirit of the Recording Academy’s vision to amplify music people worldwide and create meaningful gathering places for our entire music community. Next year’s event will be a beacon of collaboration, discovery and inspiration, and will continue to connect us to the creators, innovators, and fans who are shifting and shaping culture.”

The announcement was made on Wednesday during a celebration at the Great Pyramids of Giza that honored Egypt’s musical heritage with performances by veteran Egyptian composer Omar Khairat and Lebanese regional pop star Carole Samaha.

In attendance were leaders from the Grammy organization, Taitan Capital Japan and Global Entertainment Holdings, the Academy’s official partner for staging Grammy House Giza in 2026.

During the event, the Grammy House logo was displayed with the Great Pyramid in the background.

Grammy House Giza is part of the Recording Academy’s global expansion initiative, first announced in 2024.

The initiative aims to celebrate and support the people and ecosystems shaping music across borders.

In the coming years, additional Grammy Houses will launch in key international regions, serving as gathering places for creators to collaborate, learn and celebrate the shared power of music.
