The Academy of Country Music Awards are coming back in May, and they’ll be hosted by not one, but two amazing country stars! Garth Brooks and returning host Dolly Parton will join forces and host the ACM Awards ceremony by each other’s side.

Damon Whiteside, ACM CEO and ACM Awards executive producer said they couldn’t be more excited to bring this legendary pair together for the first time ever and promised one hell of a show.

“From exclusive superstar performances to unexpected collaborations to the industry’s most exciting emerging talent, fans are in for an unforgettable night that can only be seen on the ACM Awards stage!” said Whiteside in a statement.

Parton is no stranger to hosting the AMC Awards since she did it solo in 2000 and with Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett last year. She’s excited to join forces with Brooks this time around because they wanted to collaborate for a long time.

The duo also has several ACM Awards under their belt, with Parton winning 13 trophies in the past and Brooks winning 22, including a record-breaking six entertainer of the year awards.

The 58th Academy of Country Music Awards will take place on May 11 at the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas.
