The two-hour show will feature new performances, artist interviews, and exclusive archival footage highlighting memorable moments from the AMAs.

CBS and Dick Clark Productions have announced a star-studded lineup of performers, including music icons such as Mariah Carey, Kane Brown, and Gladys Knight.

The American Music Awards' 50th Anniversary Special is set to air on October 6, 2024, at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on CBS and will also be available for streaming on Paramount+.

Gladys Knight will return to the AMAs stage 50 years after her first performance, singing her iconic song 'Midnight Train to Georgia.'

Jennifer Hudson will pay tribute to Whitney Houston, a 22-time AMA winner, with a special performance.

This special event celebrates 50 years of music history and iconic performances but will not present any awards, as the awards ceremony will return in May 2025.

Mariah Carey will deliver a medley of hits from her multi-platinum album 'The Emancipation of Mimi' to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

Nelly will perform alongside Chingy, J-Kwon, and St. Lunatics to honor hip-hop anthems during the event.

Chaka Khan will sing 'I'm Every Woman' alongside Sheila E., who will also perform her hit song.

The special will include appearances by celebrities such as Carrie Underwood, Gloria Estefan, and Jennifer Lopez, enhancing the star-studded atmosphere.

Viewers can also watch the AMAs live through various streaming services that offer CBS, such as Hulu + Live TV and Fubo.

The last AMAs took place in 2022, where Taylor Swift made history by winning six awards, bringing her total to 40.
