» 2023 ACMs In Dallas On Prime Video:  The 58th Academy of Country Music Awards will livestream on Amazon Prime Video from the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, TX – headquarters and practice facility of the Dallas Cowboys – Thursday, May 11, 2023. Raj Kapoor will serve as Executive Producer as long-tenured EP RAC Clark steps down.
Next year's show is a renewal of the Academy's relationship with Prime Video, which marked the first livestream of a major awards show at the 57th ACM Awards in Las Vegas earlier this year (Breaking News 8/19/21). The show was last in the Dallas area in 2015 for its 50th anniversary at AT&T Stadium.
"The March 2022 show was a defining moment for the ACM and a huge step forward for country music, allowing fans in 235 countries and territories around the globe to see their favorite artists perform live and be recognized for their excellence," says ACM CEO Damon Whiteside. "The Academy continues to innovate with a first-ever 2023 Awards location and venue and an exciting new integrated partnership with the Dallas Cowboys.
"We want to acknowledge and thank R.A. Clark who is stepping down as Executive Producer after more than two decades of steering the show to excellence [including] launching its new home on Prime Video," Whiteside continues. Clark also served on the ACM Board of Directors and was the Academy's interim Executive Director in 2019. "It’s impossible to look at countless iconic moments in country music history on the ACM Awards stage, from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to Dallas to Nashville and back, and not see RAC’s influence, his vision, and his mastery at work.
"His legacy lives on as our Executive Producer, Raj Kapoor, and the Emmy-nominated production team that RAC led for so many years, continue to revolutionize the show toward an exciting future. The Academy, our industry, and all of country music is infinitely better for his tireless dedication, his inspiring passion, and his creative innovation. He will be missed but remains a close friend and supporter of the Academy."
