2019 ACM Awards: Country Stars Light Up the Stage [PICTURES]
The stage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nev., will be jam-packed with country stars at the 2019 ACM Awards on Sunday night (April 7). The three-hour event, broadcast live on TV, is one of country music's biggest nights of the year.
From classic country standards such as Brooks & Dunn and George Strait to fresh faces who are making big waves (new artist category winners Ashley McBryde, Luke Combs and Lanco), there's a steady lineup of star-studded performances ready to rock the house all night long. In the awards department, Jason Aldean will receive the ACM Dick Clark Artist of the Decade Award, and the usual trophies for Entertainer of the Year, Album of the Year and more will be handed out.
