Nashville’s country music industry will be descending on Sin City the weekend of March 31–April 2 to celebrate country’s finest at the 52nd annual ACM Awards.
While the award show will be held on April 2 at T-Mobile Arena, the days prior are filled with performances, parties and fun, including the 5th annual ACM Party for a Cause, which consits of multiple events taking place at different venues across Las Vegas. The festivities will feature performances by some of country’s biggest stars, including Kelsea Ballerini, Billy Currington, Ryan Follese, Lady Antebellum, LOCASH, Kip Moore, Jake Owen, Chris Stapleton, Michael Tyler, Clay Walker, Brett Young and more.
“Fourteen years ago, when the Academy moved the Awards to Las Vegas, we kicked off a decade of wide-ranging special events for fans including a motorcycle ride through Las Vegas and the surrounding area, a golf tournament at a prestigious club, concerts on Fremont Street, games and a country lifestyle marketplace and loads of live country music performances,” said Ed Warm, chairman of ACM Lifting Lives and co-chairman of the ACM Events Committee. “That’s how ‘The Week Vegas Goes Country’ earned its moniker. This year, we’re going back to our roots with the evolution of ACM Party for a Cause events taking place throughout Las Vegas, all benefiting ACM Lifting Lives and the good work of the many worthy organizations Lifting Lives supports through grants and more.”
