The Academy of Country Music has unveiled the initial lineup of performers for the 60th ACM Awards, featuring country music stalwarts Blake Shelton, Eric Church, and reigning Entertainer of the Year, Lainey Wilson. The ceremony is scheduled for May 8, 2025, at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, with Reba McEntire returning as host.
Blake Shelton is set to perform his latest single, “Texas,” from his upcoming album, For Recreational Use Only, which is slated for release on May 9. Eric Church will take the stage shortly after the debut of his new album, Evangeline Vs. the Machine, on May 2. Lainey Wilson’s performance precedes the North American leg of her Whirlwind World Tour, commencing on August 14.
