Every Grammys Best Alternative Music Performance winner

3 ceremonies, 2023–2025. 3 different winners.

Best Alternative Music Performance was first awarded in 2023, so it does not run the full 2000–2025 window.

It runs alongside Best Alternative Music Album rather than replacing it.

One band per year, because no winner has gone back-to-back in the years on record. Colored by label; scroll sideways for the full run.
