Brooks & Dunn To Be Honored At ACM 60th Anniversary Gala ‘Play Something Country’

April 18, 2025/by Lorie Hollabaugh

The Academy of Country Music and ACM Lifting Lives will host an exclusive 60th Anniversary Gala, “Play Something Country,” honoring the achievements of 25-time ACM Award-winning duo Brooks & Dunn on May 7 at the Omni PGA Frisco.

Eric Church, Cody Johnson, Megan Moroney, Keith Urban, and Lainey Wilson will perform Brooks & Dunn hits at the benefit gala, which will take place the night before the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards. The event will also feature a seated dinner, a silent auction, highlights from historic moments from the 60-year history of the Academy, and the presentation of a special honor to Brooks & Dunn.

The evening will be hosted by TV and Radio personality Bobby Bones. The Pre-Show and Live Auction will be presented by Shawn Parr, and tables are available for purchase by emailing LiftingLives@acmcountry.com. Proceeds will benefit ACM Lifting Lives, the charitable partner of the Academy of Country Music with a focus on mental health-based initiatives in the country music industry.
