The 52nd annual awards show will be held April 2 and will air on CBS, the Encino, California-based group announced Tuesday. Last year’s show, hosted by Luke Bryan and T-Mobile Arena, was held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The 20,000-seat T-Mobile Arena opened in 2016 on the Las Vegas Strip. It will be the home of a new National Hockey League expansion team later this year.
