The Michael SchmidtACM Awards are known as country music's party of the year for a reason.

After all, the 2024 ceremony will bring out all the stops, with musicians such as Kelsea Ballerini, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett, Chris Stapleton, Kane Brown, Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson primes to descend upon the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, dressed in their finest duds. 

And as host of the illustrious award show, Reba McEntire knew how to get the party started. "I am tickled to pieces to get to host the ACM Awards for the 17th time," the legendary singer said in a statement last month. "What an honor to have been part of the past, present and now the future of the Academy of Country Music."

But the star-studded event isn't just for country music's best and brightest. In fact, this year's show is aimed to celebrate artists across all genres, with rapper Post Malone making his debut on the ACM Awards stage. Meanwhile, pop-punk princess Avril Lavigne will join forces with New Male Artist of the Year nominee Nate Smith for what's sure to be a one-of-a-kind performance.

Music powerhouse couple Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are also slated to perform, as are Reba and Jason Aldean, who will be performing a special rendition of Toby Keith's "Should've Been a Cowboy" in honor of late singer. 

As for presenters? Alabama, Tyler Cameron, Little Big Town, BRELAND, Jordan Davis, Sara Evans, Carin León, Ashley McBryde, Dion Pride, Noah Reid, Richard Sherman, Charissa Thompson, Randy Travis, and Clay Walker are slated to make appearances on stage as the show streams live on Amazon Prime Video.

But before the awards are handed out, keep reading to see all the action on the red carpet.
