The 52nd American Music Awards are heading to Las Vegas, and tickets are moving fast. The world’s largest fan-voted music awards show returns on Memorial Day, Monday May 25th, broadcasting live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena on CBS and Paramount+ at 8:00 PM ET. It marks the largest venue in the show’s history, and the lineup of performers, presenters, and honorees will be announced in the coming weeks.
Pre-sale tickets are available starting Wednesday, March 25th at 10:00 AM PT via TheAMAs.com/Presale. General public on-sale follows Friday, March 27th at 10:00 AM PT on AXS.com. Nominations drop Tuesday, April 14th, when fan voting also opens, running through May 8th.
Last year’s 51st AMAs drew over 10 million unique viewers across its CBS and Paramount+ Memorial Day premiere, marking the show’s largest audience since 2019 and a 38% increase over its last live airing in 2022. Host Jennifer Lopez opened with a 23-song medley, with performances from Janet Jackson, Benson Boone, Blake Shelton, Gloria Estefan, Gwen Stefani, Lainey Wilson, Reneé Rapp, Rod Stewart, and others rounding out the night.
Created by Dick Clark in 1974 and produced by Dick Clark Productions, the AMAs has spent more than 50 years delivering defining pop culture moments and breaking new artists to massive audiences. This year’s show brings all of that history into the biggest room the franchise has ever used.
