The Academy of Country Music Awards will again be held in Nashville this spring. The 56th ACM Awards will broadcast live from three iconic country music venues: the Grand Ole Opry House, Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium and The Bluebird Cafe on Sunday, April 18th at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
In support of the city of Nashville, ACM Lifting Lives, the charitable arm of the Academy of Country Music, will donate $25,000 to the Music City, Inc. foundation for their Nashville Christmas Day Explosion Relief Fund, with funds earmarked for local musicians out of work due to damage to venues.
Last year's ACM Awards was pushed from April to September, where it took place from the same three venues and followed set Covid protocol, which included no live audience.
