The ACM Awards are almost here! We have all the deets for The 59th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards read on.. It promises to be an amazing night that recognizes the tastemakers in country music this past year. Slated to perform live are an incredible lineup of Billboard charting artists whose songs you’ve probably sang along with on your car radio. Thomas Rhett, Chris Stapleton, and Lainey Wilson are all slated to perform at the ACM awards. But, possibly one of the most anticipated debuts of the night is Post Malone. His first single “I Had Some Help” off of his much anticipated country music album features Morgan Wallen, and has already shattered several streaming records. I believe it will debut at number one next week, but we’ll wait and see.. Also slated to perform are Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, and Kelsea Ballerini will perform a duet w/ Americana artist Noah Kahan. Jason Aldean will be playing a tribute to the Big Dawg Toby Keith. We lost Toby Feb 2024 to stomach cancer. We believe Jason Aldean will be joined by Parker McCollum. Also, Expect performances by Kane Brown, Cody Johnson and others. You also get treated to a brand new song from Jelly Roll. This year, Luke Combs leads the nominations with eight acknowledgements including one in the top Entertainer Of The Year category. Have you heard his latest single? It’s a smoker, check it out below. We are over the moon with Randy Travis new song. Randy will be presenting at the ACMs this year! Three awards have already been given out before the show probably because of all the amazing talent performing, and time constraints.
