If there’s a time to spot a famed musician, even the most low-key of the bunch, out and about in Los Angeles, it’s Grammys weekend. Ahead of show night, among the biggest nights in music out of the year, most of your favorite artists aren’t actually tucked away sparing their energy and vocals in anticipation for the big stage, as the party starts long before then with a few pre-functions that bring everyone out.
On the flip side, it doesn’t end with the anticipated performances from the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Travis Scott, and Billie Eilish either, with pockets of celebrations cropping up across West Hollywood and Beverly Hills alike to fete the achievements of the night’s nominees and winners. Ahead, here’s a look inside the biggest Grammys bashes.

GQ Hosted a Very Cool Crowd
“The intention of any GQ party is simply to gather our community IRL,” global editorial director Will Welch said ahead of Saturday night’s event. With a history of hosting actually fun parties (trickier than it sounds), the publication returned to the Marmont—last November, the storied hotel was the location of the Jacob Elordi-attended Men of The Year party. This time, the crowd included Boygenius’s Phoebe Bridgers and bandmates, as well as fellow honorees and hosts Killer Mike and Jason Isbell, and dotted on sofas, or at the Grand Marnier-stocked bar or on the stairs of the bungalow-style suite. Others in attendance included Nicholas Braun, Luka Sabbat, and YG, along with Noah Kahan and Diplo, who were making their rounds from the Clive Davis party happening simultaneously across town.
