The Grammis are music awards presented annually to musicians and songwriters in Sweden. The oldest Swedish music awards,[1] they were instituted as a local equivalent of the Grammy Awards given in the United States.[2] The awards ceremony is generally held each year in February in Stockholm. The awards were established in 1969 and awarded until 1972 when they were cancelled, then revived in 1987.

There are around 20 different award categories, which have changed over the years. Swedish artists and foreign artists who live in Sweden are eligible, as are artists in other countries if their music is produced in Sweden and targets a Swedish audience.[2]

The awards are presented by IFPI Sverige, along with the newspaper Expressen.

History[]

Berns salonger, venue for the first Grammis ceremony in 1969

The first Grammis were presented on 25 September 1969 at Berns salonger in Stockholm.[3] They were presented annually until 1972, after which they were discontinued.[4] This was attributed the influence of music critics on the awards, especially after the win of unidentified group Philemon Arthur and the Dung at the 1972 ceremony.[1][4] The Grammis were reinstated in 1987, fifteen years later.[4]

During an acceptance speech at the 1993 ceremony, Popsicle guitarist Fredrik Norberg wished that the members of Arvingarna would die in a bus accident.[5] This incident caused a scandal in Sweden and the band's next record was cancelled.[6][7] Following the 2011 ceremony, the separate categories of Best Female Artist and Best Male Artist were abolished and one Best Artist award was instead awarded.[8]

Following the 2019 ceremony, the award for Children's Music of the Year was cut, with the IFPI citing low submissions to the category and the challenge of having an adult jury decide on an award for children.[9] The decision received criticism and was reinstated for the 2021 ceremony.[10] The 2021 ceremony was postponed from its usual February date to June due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden.[10][11]

Ceremonies[]

Since the 1988 ceremony, the Grammis have been held at the beginning of the year to recognize music from the preceding year.[3] With the exception of the 1970 ceremony held in Lidingö, every ceremony has taken place at venues in Stockholm.[3]
