Following music’s biggest night, Armand de Brignac presented A Toast to Music, an exclusive Grammy Awards After Party held at the iconic Skybar, overlooking the Los Angeles skyline. Curated by Adam Glove of Affinity Nightlife and Dani Thompson of DNT Entertainment, the event emerged as one of Grammy Weekend’s most high-profile late-night destinations, drawing a dynamic mix of Grammy Award winners, A-list talent, and cultural tastemakers.

A long-standing staple of awards season, the Skybar once again delivered a red-carpet-caliber experience, reinforcing its reputation as a magnet for elite talent and national media attention. The evening received coverage across major outlets including Getty Images, Shutterstock, BuzzMusic, and additional entertainment and culture publications documenting the night’s standout moments.

Live performances anchored the celebration, with sets by SUMiT, Ronnie Winter of The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and Cali Swag District, whose performance of the era-defining hit “Teach Me How to Dougie” brought the crowd to its feet. SUMiT’s appearance was a defining moment of the night, following his viral, unexpected appearance earlier that evening during Alex Warren’s Grammy performance of “Ordinary.” At the Skybar, SUMiT performed “Super Nice,” his collaboration with Dave East and Millyz, along with his latest single “Luka,” featuring Lihtz.

The guest list reflected the breadth of contemporary entertainment. Grammy Award winners in attendance included Misty Blanco (Melodic Bop), Bijan / NFNTY94 (“Bloom” with Durand Bernarr, Best Progressive R&B Album), and Wallie the Sensei, whose work appears on Kendrick Lamar’s GNX, winner of Best Rap Album.

Actors Vanessa Williams, Shaka Smith, and Natasha Blasick were among the Hollywood figures in attendance, joined by Fred Kerley, two-time Olympic medalist. The event also welcomed artists Courtney Paige Nelson, Capri Everett, Max Wright (Netflix’s Building the Band), Lauren Black, Emilia Vaughn and ERIIN, highlighting the evening’s blend of established and emerging talent.

Influencers Coco Quinn, Emily Dobson, Nolen Dubuc added to the night’s digital footprint, alongside appearances by DJ Sky High Baby, Myla Tkachenko, and the cast members of The Baddies. Music throughout the evening was curated by celebrity DJ Talon Reid, keeping the energy elevated well into the night.

Guests enjoyed immersive brand activations throughout the venue, including flowing Armand de Brignac champagne, a Blvkbook art pop-up, late-night bites from Ike’s Love & Sandwiches, and a fragrance experience by Monbeau Afrique. A Timeless TAKES photo booth captured red-carpet arrivals and live performance moments, creating a visual record of one of Grammy Weekend’s defining celebrations.

Produced in collaboration with DNT Entertainment, A Toast to Music reaffirmed its place as a premier post-Grammy destination, where music, culture, and luxury converge to close out the industry’s biggest night.
