It's official now.

Yesterday, Luke Bryan teased a commercial that had us guessing who would be his co-host for the ACM Awards on April 3, 2016. Why is Blake Shelton not hosting the awards? Apparently, Luke hints that he has just too much on his plate. So, who better than Dierks Bentley?

The ACM Awards celebrated their 50th anniversary in Dallas this past year, but will return to their home-base in Las Vegas for 2016.

Watch the video of Luke asking Dierks!

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be joining my friend Luke Bryan to co-host the the 51st ACM - Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday, April 3, 2016!
