A Music-Filled May: Academy of Country Music Awards & Frisco Live

The Star in Frisco may be the Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters, but May 14-16, 2024, it hosts stars of a different kind as the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards return to Frisco. The excitement around ACM Week begins with the ACM Country Kickoff at Tostitos Championship Plaza at The Star on Tuesday, May 14 and Wednesday, May 15, 2024. This festival allows fans to get up close and personal with some of Country Music's stars and celebrate the ACM Awards. 

The Academy of Country Music Awards show will take place Thursday, May 16, live from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas and will stream live on Prime Video globally and exclusively. The ACM Awards, one of the most watched and critically-acclaimed awards shows of 2023, will again give fans in Texas and around the world an exclusive invitation to Country Music’s Party of the Year with the biggest stars and unforgettable live performances exclusive to the ACM stage.

Some of the best local music takes the stage throughout Frisco with Frisco Live. This special concert series takes place in intimate venues and at the best hotels across Frisco in collaboration with Melody of Hope, a nonprofit organization that supports and advocates for nonprofits across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex through music.

Musicians and fans can be spotted around town as Frisco turns into the home of country music in May.

In March 2023, something widely known was officially confirmed: Frisco is a Music Friendly Texas Community. This official designation from the Texas Music Office highlights our city's continuing support of musicians, performers, and fans of music in The City That Plays.
