The American Music Awards is shifting gears and celebrating a significant milestone: its 50th anniversary. This momentous occasion will be marked on a new network, CBS, on Sunday, October 6, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT.
This year, the AMAs will be more than just an awards show; it’s a celebration of five decades of groundbreaking music and pop culture. An impressive lineup of performers is set to grace the stage, including Kane Brown, Mariah Carey, Green Day, Stray Kids, Gladys Knight, Brad Paisley, and RAYE.
What sets the AMAs apart is the involvement of the fans. Nominees are based on streaming, album and digital sales, radio airplay, and social activity, and fans have the power to vote for their favorite artists. This often leads to unexpected winners and exciting collaborative performances.
The show’s debut on CBS, following its move from ABC, is highly anticipated. The network is pulling out all the stops to ensure that this anniversary special is an ambitious and memorable event that goes beyond a standard clip show.
The American Music Awards: 50th Anniversary Special airs on Sunday, October 6, at 5:00 p.m. PT/8:00 p.m. ET on CBS.
