For the second year, Reba McEntire and Blake Shelton are set to host the ACM Awards. Broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Country Music’s Biggest Party of the Year, the 47th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards will be handed out during a live broadcast, Sunday April 1, 2012 at 8pm E/W (tape delayed on the west coast, as always). CBS will be broadcasting the show once again this year.
The Second Annual ACM Fan Jam, hosted by Zac Brown Band, will take place simultaneously with the award show. This event will be at the Mandalay Bay Events Center. Performances by Zac Brown Band and others to be announced for the Fan Jam will be shown during the awards telecast.
In addition, the Academy and Dick Clark Productions will tape an all-star concert special, ACM Presents: Lionel Richie and Friends – A Lifetime of Hits, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Monday, April 2, to air at a later date on CBS. Guests for that show will include Kenny Chensey, Lady Antebellum, Kenny Rogers, Rascal Flatts, Martina McBride, The Band Perry and Jason Aldean, with many more to be added soon. Ticket sales from the event will benefit the ACM Lifting Lives charity, a group which works to improve lives through music.
The academy will announce its full schedule of The Week Vegas Goes Country events in the upcoming weeks.
