The Kennedy Center Honors will be held away from its traditional home this year for the first time since the awards began in 1978, according to the Guardian.
The Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. is now set to host the ceremony on 7 December, a Kennedy Center spokesperson said, the Guardian reported.
The venue change comes as the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts remains the subject of controversy amid what the Guardian described as President Donald Trump's push to have the center renamed after himself.
The list of this year's honorees has not yet been announced, according to the report. The Kennedy Center Honors have traditionally recognized individuals for lifetime achievement in the performing arts.
