When you’re celebrating your 50th anniversary as one of the top country music award shows, might as well go big, and what better place than in the home of Jerry Jones’s Dallas Cowboy’s AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas! Sunday April 19, the Academy of Country Music Awards will be holding their 50th Anniversary award show in front of 60,000 people live on CBS. Breaking records for any other live award show before that. Next door before the big show, Globe Life Park in Arlington will be holding the Party for a Cause Festival on Friday April 17 and Saturday April 18.
