The Academy of Country Music announced its lineup of special honorees for the upcoming 19th annual ACM Honors, scheduled to take place on Wednesday, Aug. 19 at The Pinnacle in Nashville. ACM Honors recognizes outstanding achievements, philanthropic leadership, and significant contributions to the country music genre that extend outside regular competitive categories. Among those being recognized include Eric Church, who will receive the 2026 ACM Lifting Lives Award following his extensive disaster relief efforts in the southeastern United States. Ella Langley, who earned five trophies at the main ceremony earlier this year, will be celebrated as the ACM Artist-Songwriter of the Year. Tickets for the 19th annual ACM Honors ceremony are available to the general public now, with organizers promising to reveal the list of presenters and live performers at a later date.
