ACM AWARDS MOVE TO NASHVILLE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER

ACM Awards Move To Nashville For The First Time Ever

As we previously told you, after the ACM Awards were postponed due to the coronavirus, ACM rescheduled the ceremony to September, and now we know exactly where and when they’ll take place.

The Academy of Country Music just announced that the 55th Annual ACM Awards will take place September 16th, and for the first time ever they’ll take place in Nashville. The show, which will air on CBS and still be hosted by Keith Urban, will broadcast from three of country music’s most iconic venues – the Grand Ole Opry House, Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium and The Bluebird Café.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to host the rescheduled 55th ACM Awards in the home of Country Music for the first time in the Academy’s history,” Damon Whiteside, CEO of the Academy of Country Music, shares. “First and foremost, we want to ensure the safety of our artists and industry, and to ease the burdens of traveling large teams; therefore, we decided to bring the ACM Awards to them this September in Nashville.”

Organizers add that to ensure the safety and health of everyone, guidelines set forth by national, state and local health officials will be followed and implemented during the production.

The 55th Annual ACM Awards was supposed to take place April 5th in Las Vegas.

ONE MORE THING! After the ACM announcement, some noticed that the Ryman Auditorium was actually double booked for September 16th, with the Americana Honors and Award show also scheduled to take place at the Ryman on that day. While the Americana Awards are still monitoring the COVID-19 situation, their show is scheduled to go on as planned as of now. The ACMs later clarified that while the Grand Ole Opry and Bluebird portions of the ACMs will be live, clips from the Ryman will be taped in advance.
