The 61st Academy of Country Music Awards are almost here, which means it’s officially time to clear your Monday morning calendar, pretend you’re “working from home” and lock into several hours of country music chaos live from Las Vegas.
This year’s ACM Awards are returning to the iconic MGM Grand after three years in Texas, with none other than Shania Twain stepping in as host for the first time ever.
The good news for Australian country fans? Watching the show this year is actually pretty easy.
The 61st ACM Awards will stream live in Australia via Prime Video Australia, with the ceremony available globally through the platform as part of Amazon’s ongoing partnership with the ACMs.
Even better, the livestream will also be available through the Amazon Music Twitch channel, meaning viewers can technically tune in without needing a paid subscription.
The awards take place live in Las Vegas on Sunday 17 May at 8pm ET, which translates to Monday morning in Australia.
Beyond the awards themselves, this year’s lineup is stacked. Performers already announced include Lainey Wilson, Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert, Cody Johnson, Riley Green, Thomas Rhett, Kane Brown, Zach Top and many more, with more surprise collaborations expected across the night.
Between massive live collaborations, incredible performance pairings and country music’s current global boom, the show is one you won’t want to miss.
