Earlier this year, the academy announced the show will again broadcast live from three iconic Nashville venues – the Grand Ole Opry House, the Ryman Auditorium and The Bluebird Cafe.

The pandemic delayed last year's show until September 2020, and for the first time, the event was moved from Las Vegas to Nashville.

The show will be hosted by 15-time ACM Award winner Keith Urban and New Female Artist of the Year nominee Mickey Guyton.
