The 2017 CMT Awards will air live on CMT from Nashville, TN on Wednesday, June 7th. Due to the Nashville Predators playing in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals, the show has been moved from the Bridgestone Arena to the Music City Center. Because of this, seats are extremely limited so the show may have a bit of a different feel than usual. It still promises superstar performances and collaborations, so tune in! The show will be hosted by Charles Esten, aka Deacon on the TV show Nashville.
