CMA Awards Nominees Set to be Revealed
With anticipation building for Country Music’s Biggest Night, the Country Music Association will announce nominees for “The 59th Annual CMA Awards” as well as CMA Broadcast Awards finalists during a livestream on CMA’s official Facebook and YouTube channel in early September.
The nominations announcement marks a defining point in Awards season—recognising the artists, songwriters, musicians, and industry professionals whose work has shaped the genre over the past year and setting the stage for a weeklong celebration of the genre’s creative excellence this November in Nashville. “The 59th Annual CMA Awards” broadcasts live Wednesday, Nov. 19 on ABC and streams the following day on Hulu.
Coinciding with this morning’s announcement, the Second Ballot for “The 59th Annual CMA Awards” opens today. As part of the CMA Awards’ longstanding peer-voting tradition, this round empowers members to help shape the final nominee slate across all 12 categories. Eligible CMA Professional voting members are encouraged to cast their votes before the ballot closes Monday, Aug. 18 at 6:00 PM/CT.
Tickets for “The 59th Annual CMA Awards,” taking place Wednesday, Nov. 19 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, will go on sale Friday, Sept. 5 at 10:00 AM/CT.
More than a singular night of honours, the CMA Awards anchors a weeklong celebration of the Country Music community. Returning to Nashville this November, CMA Awards Week will bring together artists and industry professionals through a variety of events and gatherings that spotlight the people, stories, and creative spirit at the heart of the genre.
As part of CMA’s ongoing commitment to artist and crew wellbeing, All Access On-Site, an initiative from ECCHO Live, will return for a second year to provide licensed mental health professionals during CMA Awards rehearsals and show day. Following its presence at CMA Fest earlier this year, the program offers confidential, in-person support to artists and crew navigating the high-pressure demands of live production.
