Ticket Information Announced For 60th ACM Awards
Today, the Academy of Country Music (ACM) announced ticket on-sale information for the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards which will take place Thursday, May 8, live from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, the world headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys. The 60th ACM Awards will stream LIVE exclusively on Prime Video. Hosted by entertainment icon Reba McEntire, the ACM Awards continues to give fans around the world an exclusive invitation to a Country Music show sixty years in the making, featuring performances by the greatest Country Music stars of the past, present, and future.
“This year’s ACM Awards is a celebration sixty years in the making, and we plan to make it one of the biggest and best shows yet!” said ACM CEO Damon Whiteside. “The 60th ACM Awards will mark our third consecutive year at Ford Center in The Star District, home of the Dallas Cowboys in Frisco, Texas, and we can’t wait to bring the ACM Awards back to the loyal Country Music fan base in Texas, and to those watching all around the globe on Amazon Prime Video. With Reba at the helm as our host, we’ll be commemorating the legends of Country Music while honoring the biggest and brightest stars of today.”
“The bar has been set very high during the first two years of hosting Country Music’s Party of the Year,” said Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager Jerry Jones. “I think we all agree, though, that the upcoming Academy of Country Music Awards’ 60th show is going to exceed that bar. Having an amazing icon of music and entertainment in Reba back for another year as host just sets this up to be one of the best ever and the Ford Center will be home to Country Music’s biggest and brightest stars once again.”
