AUSTIN – Downtown Austin will host country music stars and other celebrities next spring when the CMT Music Awards rolls into town.
The Moody Center announced Thursday that it will once again hold the CMT Music Awards live on April 7, 2024.
The hosts have yet to be announced, and details on tickets will be released at a later time.
This will mark the second time that the shiny, new Moody Center hosts the fan-voted awards, typically held in Nashville.
In a news release, Executive Producers Margaret Comeaux, John Hamlin and Leslie Fram said they “couldn’t be more excited” to bring the show back to Central Texas.
“From the electrifying, sold-out Moody Center crowd to fans packing the streets for our outdoor Congress stage and Bevo himself walking the Red Carpet, our Texas-sized welcome proved to be one of our biggest and most unforgettable shows yet,” they said in the release. “We’re thankful to our incredible partners at Moody and the City of Austin and thrilled to bring CMT’s signature blend of world premieres, genre-blending surprises, and once-in-a-lifetime collaborations back this April!”
Kane Brown and Kelsea Ballerini hosted the show in 2023.
