The 55th annual CMA Awards will return to Bridgestone Arena in Nashville 11/10. A limited number of tickets will be sold to the general public beginning 11/1.

The Country Music Association will roll out the names of hosts, performers and presenters in the coming weeks. The third and final ballot is open now for CMA members, with voting for the CMA Awards final ballot closing 10/27. 

“We have a truly fantastic show in the works that we will share more about in the coming weeks,” says Sarah Trahern, CMA Chief Executive Officer. “As we plan our return, it goes without saying that the health and safety of our guests and crew is our top priority. Due to TV production protocols and venue and local rules, we will require all ticketed audience members to show proof of full COVID-19 vaccination and wear masks unless actively eating or drinking. Both the house and backstage will comply with all applicable local health and safety regulations, as well as requirements from the television unions.”
