The Grammy Awards will head back to their usual home of Los Angeles for the 2019 edition.

The 61st annual ceremony will return to the Staples Center on Feb. 10 and air live on CBS at 8 p.m.

Last year, the Grammys were held in New York for the first time in 15 years, but were always slated to revert to the West Coast following the 60th anniversary production.

Nominations for the 2019 awards will be announced in all 84 categories on Dec. 5; recording released between Oct. 1, 2017 and Sept. 30, 2018, will be eligible.

Last month, the Grammys announced several category changes, the most significant an increase in the number of nominations in the record, song and album of the year and best new artist categories, which will all expand from five to eight.
