Academy of Country MusicWho is hosting the ACM Awards?
Hold onto your hats! This year, the ACM's will make history as iconic duo Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks take the stage as hosts. Talk about a dream team! It's the second consecutive year that Parton has hosted the event and marks the first time ever for Brooks to host an awards show.
In a press release for the Academy of Country Music, Parton says, "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." Brooks adds, "Anyone with Dolly Parton makes a fantastic couple.” We couldn't agree more—and are definitely looking forward to a night spent with the queen and king of country.
Who is performing at the ACM Awards this year?
As if the night couldn't get any better, along with hosting, Dolly Parton will also premiere the lead single from her upcoming rock album. While other performers haven't been announced yet, we know the talent is sure to be off the charts.
