“We couldn’t be more excited to bring the “CMT MUSIC AWARDS” on CBS back to Austin in 2024!” said CMT Music Awards Executive Producers Margaret Comeaux, John Hamlin, and Leslie Fram. “From the electrifying, sold-out Moody Center crowd to fans packing the streets for our outdoor Congress stage and Bevo himself walking the Red Carpet, our Texas-sized welcome proved to be one of our biggest and most unforgettable shows yet. We’re thankful to our incredible partners at Moody and the City of Austin and thrilled to bring CMT’s signature blend of world premieres, genre-blending surprises, and once-in-a-lifetime collaborations back this April!”
