Already producing a historic lineup of honorees and performers, ACM Honors wanted to recognize the icon that was Dolly Parton. Having composed over 3,000 songs throughout her career, the hitmaker was more than a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame – she was a Hollywood star thanks to Rhinestone and Steel Magnolias.

Although grateful for the recognition, Dolly will not attend the ACM Honors. Instead, she will thank the organization and fans with a special video message. 

For those wanting to be part of the celebration, they can purchase tickets through AXS. Looking at current prices, tickets range from $68 for a seat to $1,124 for a table. 

With country music’s biggest stars coming together under one roof, the 19th ACM Honors is shaping up to be one of the genre’s most memorable events of the year.
