Exciting News: Post Malone, Avril Lavigne & More Join Lineup!

Post Malone is set to take the stage at the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards on May 16, where he will be joined by a star-studded lineup of pop artists. The list of performers includes Noah Kahan, who will team up with Kelsea Ballerini, Avril Lavigne who will perform with Nate Smith, and Gwen Stefani who will share the stage with her husband Blake Shelton. The dynamic duo is expected to perform their hit single, “Purple Irises.”

Last year, Ed Sheeran and Luke Combs wowed the audience with their performance of “Life Goes On” at the ACM Awards. This year’s lineup promises even more pop names to grace the stage, with Parker McCollum, the 2022 new male artist of the year winner, also added to the roster. The show will be held at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, creating the perfect backdrop for a night of unforgettable performances.

Other previously announced performers include Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson, and the legendary Reba McEntire, who will also be hosting the show. McEntire will not only host but also treat fans to new music during the event.

Fans can expect more performers to be added to the lineup as the show approaches. Top nominees such as Luke Combs, Megan Moroney, Morgan Wallen, Jordan Davis, and Zach Bryan are eagerly awaited by fans, with hopes of seeing collaborations like Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s upcoming song “I Had Some Help.”

Bobby Bones will make a special appearance throughout the show with his artist interview segment “Backstage With Bobby Bones,” a segment that debuted last year. The event will be streamed live globally on Prime Video at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, with no Prime membership required to watch the show. The ACM Awards aim to make it a party for everyone to enjoy.

This year marks Reba McEntire’s 17th time hosting or co-hosting the ACMs, bringing her closer to breaking the all-time hosting record currently held by Bob Hope. The 2023 ACM Awards, hosted by Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, drew over 7.7 million viewers across various platforms, solidifying its place as one of the year’s most-watched awards shows.

The event will be the third year that the ACM Awards stream on Prime Video and the second year in a row from the Ford Center at The Star. The venue, known for being the Dallas Cowboys’ practice facility, is a fitting location for the prestigious event. The show is produced by Dick Clark Productions, with notable industry figures like Raj Kapoor and Damon Whiteside at the helm.

A limited number of tickets to the 59th ACM Awards are available for purchase on SeatGeek, giving fans the opportunity to experience the show live. Additionally, fans can catch the official ACM Red Carpet coverage on various platforms, including Prime Video and Amazon Live, starting at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.

Leading up to the main event, fans can enjoy a week of pre-ACM livestream shows hosted by Kelly Sutton and Amber Anderson. The festivities include special segments like the ACM New Artist Winners Celebration and Backstage with Kelly & Amber, providing fans with exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the event.

With an exciting lineup of performers and a promising array of events, the 59th ACM Awards is set to be a night to remember for music fans everywhere.
