The 58th annual Grammy Awards will air on CBS on February 15, 2016, the network and Recording Academy announced on Monday.

The event honoring musicians, songwriters and producers for their achievements will return to the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where it will be broadcast live for East Coast viewers starting at 8 p.m., but delayed for West Coast.

This year’s broadcast pulled in 25.3 million viewers, marking a six-year low for the ceremony, which featured performances from AC/DC, Tom Jones and Pharrell.

Sam Smith was the biggest winner of the night with four gramophone trophies, while Pharrell took home multiple, as well and Beck won Album of the Year — an announcement that triggered another memorable outburst from Kanye West.
