When Are The 2025 ACM Awards?
The ACM just revealed a bunch of superstar performers who joined the lineup for its 2025 awards show.
This year’s ACM Awards will be held on Thursday, May 8. The ceremony will be available to watch on Prime Video at 8 PM Eastern, 7 PM Central. You can also stream the program on the Amazon Music channel on Twitch.
Country music legend Reba McEntire, who’s hosted the ACM Awards more than any other artist, will host the ceremony. Her involvement seems fitting, as the ACM Awards celebrate their 60th anniversary this year.
With that in mind, the ceremony will focus heavily on honoring extraordinary singers of the past alongside popular artists of the present.
Some of the top nominees include Ella Langley (8 nominations), Morgan Wallen (7 nominations), Cody Johnson (7 nominations), and Lainey Wilson (7 nominations). Nominees for the coveted Entertainer of the Year trophy include Wilson, Wallen, Johnson, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, Kelsea Ballerini, and Jelly Roll.
On March 24, the ACM revealed the names of three performers participating in the upcoming ceremony: Blake Shelton, Lainey Wilson, and Eric Church. The ACM promised to announce more performers at a later date.
