“Country Music’s Party of the Year” has a star-studded lineup in the works including a much-anticipated premiere! Upon her election to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, ACM Awards host Dolly Parton promised to record a rock album. At the close of the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards, fans will experience their first taste of that project as Dolly closes out the show with the debut of music from the upcoming album. In honor of the 25th anniversary of Trisha Yearwood’s win for Female Artist of the Year, Carly Pearce joins Trisha for a special musical medley. Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran will make his ACM performance debut. And, look for newcomer Bailey Zimmerman, to mark his first-ever awards show performance. The lists of performers and presenters are below.
The 58th ACM Awards, hosted by Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, will stream live on Thursday, May 11 at 8/7c from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, on Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel Twitch. The one-hour red carpet show begins at 7/6c. A full list of nominations for the main awards can be found here.
