Grammy gets its party on this week with at least two Jennifer Hudson performances, a rap Dream Team of T.I., Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Jay-Z rockin' the mic, plus teen queens Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift on the same stage.

Throw in the bashes celebrating Katy Perry, the Jonas Brothers, Akon and Rihanna, the celebration of pop, rock, hip-hop and country will spill far off the Staples Center stage, and PEOPLE has all the details:

Grammy Night
After Sunday's awards telecast on CBS, nominees the Jonas Brothers and Coldplay will stop by the showpiece party of the night – the Woodstock-themed Grammy Celebration at the L.A. Convention Center, where Wolfgang Puck serves Shanghai lobster and red velvet cupcakes while Robin Thicke, The Time, and DJ Mick Boogie perform. At the bar? Patron and Ultimate Vodka.

Across town at EMI Music and EMI Music Publishing's bash at the SLS Beverly Hills Hotel, nominees like Perry and country heavyweights Lady Antebellum will party for a good cause at their UV Vodka-sponsored bash benefiting Stand Up For a Cure. Proceeds from an artist-autographed guitar auction go to the charity, a nonprofit that produces benefit concerts for lung cancer research and patient care.

Meanwhile, Island Def Jam Chairman Antonio "L.A." Reid's fete will host artists including Rihanna, Kanye West, Ne-Yo and UK soul sensation Duffy.


Universal Music Group Chairman and CEO Doug Morris is back again this year with his annual viewing party. But instead of their usual blowouts, both Warner Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment are scaling back – WMG will host an intimate viewing party, while SME has invited nominees and presenters to a small post-show reception.

And to close out the night, Nelly will let loose at the Universal Motown fete at the W's Whiskey Blue. Elsewhere at the hotel, Akon will throw his own post-ceremony celebration.
