This year the awards will be a mid-week celebration co-hosted by multi Golden Guitar winners and ARIA nominated artists Adam Harvey and Beccy Cole on Wednesday, April 20.
Country music legend Troy Cassar-Daley and ARIA nominated group The Wolfe Brothers - who have both picked up a swag of nominations - will headline a long list of stars set to perform on the night.
Troy Cassar-Daley - who is up for eight awards - is the top nominee for the night and is also on par with the iconic Slim Dusty and legendary Lee Kernaghan, for winning the greatest number of Golden Guitar awards.
It's a record-breaking year for the awards, with more than 760 entries, Country Music Association of Australia (CMAA) chairman Dobe Newton said.
"After what has been a tough few years for artists and the industry it will be a great moment to celebrate and recognise those who've made an outstanding contribution to Australian Country Music," he said.
