ACM Awards hosts: Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks will emcee the country music event
Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks have been tapped to host the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards.

Nominees and performers for the ceremony will be announced at a later date.
Parton said in a statement, “I am thrilled to return to host the ACM Awards, this time with my friend Garth. While I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with him throughout the years, I can’t believe we’ve never had the chance to work together. In addition to getting to see all this great new talent in country music, I am excited to have the chance to premiere the lead single from my upcoming rock album on the show!”
