With appearances and concerts cancelled, country music’s biggest stars are practicing social distancing and staying home – and inviting fans to join them for a new kind of entertainment special.

ACM Presents: Our Country will feature intimate conversations and at-home acoustic performances with top country artists, along with clips of their favorite moments from the Academy of Country Music Awards’ 55-year history. The new special will be broadcast Sunday, April 5 on the CBS.

“Although the highly anticipated 55th ACM Awards show is unable to take place on April 5 due to the health crisis, we still wanted to deliver fans an entertaining ACM Country Music special as planned,” said Damon Whiteside, CEO of the Academy of Country Music.
