ACM New Artist of the Year nominees Brantley Gilbert, Hunter Hayes and Scotty McCreery will perform at the 2nd annual Academy of Country Music Fan Jam, hosted by the Zac Brown Band. The show takes place during and after the 47th annual ACM Awards, with the New Artist trophy being given away to one of the three performers at the Fan Jam. The concert takes place at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Events Center, down the strip from the awards ceremony at the MGM Grand.

Also entertaining during the show will be "electric cowboy" DeeJay Silver, who is expected to make signature country music remixes and mash-ups for the fans in attendance.

The ACM Fan Jam is part awards-viewing party, part live concert. Performances taking place at MGM are piped in on multiple viewing screens and vice versa. Tickets are on sale now for $37 and $57.

Additionally, voting opens for the New Artist category on March 19 at noon ET. Make your choice known until 8:00 PM ET on April 1 here.

The 2012 ACM Awards, which will once again be co-hosted by Reba McEntire and Blake Shelton, airs live April 1 at 8:00 PM ET on CBS.
