Blake Shelton and Reba McEntire will host the 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards.
The two stars will return for the second year in a row to hand out the awards on April 1 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The Academy of Country Music Awards will also feature Fan Jam, which is to be held simultaneously to the main ceremony at the Mandalay Bay Events Centre.
Zac Brown Band are to give away special prizes and perform at the Fan Jam event during ACM Awards commercial breaks.
Last year's Academy of Country Music Awards saw Miranda Lambert and The Band Perry emerge with multiple wins.
Lambert took home the 'Top Female Vocalist of the Year' and 'Song of the Year' prize, while The Band Perry received the 'Top New Artist of the Year' award.
The Academy of Country Music will also tape the television special ACM Presents: Lionel Richie and Friends - A Lifetime of Hits, featuring Kenny Chesney and Lady Antebellum, the day after its awards ceremony. The Richie tribute is to air on CBS.
