Jelly Roll, Eric Church among winners at 2025 ACM Honours

Eric Church, Jelly Roll, Luke Combs and Randy Travis are among those set to receive recognition at the 2025 Academy of Country Music Honours ceremony.

The annual event will take place on 20 August in Nashville, Tennessee.

Church, along with Ben Vaughn, who died in January, will receive the Icon Award, which is presented to recipients who have "advanced the popularity of the genre through their contributions in multiple facets of the industry".

Church's recognition with this award highlights his contributions to Hurricane Helene relief efforts in 2024.

Combs is receiving the ACM International Award in honour of his global fanbase, while Jelly Roll will receive the ACM Lifting Lives Award in recognition of his philanthropic work.

Travis will be given the ACM Milestone Award, joining a salubrious list of previous Milestone Award recipients including Taylor Swift, Lainey Wilson, Garth Brooks and Willie Nelson.

"This year's ACM Special Awards honorees each have played an essential role in Country Music's success," said Kerri Edwards, Chair of the ACM Special Awards committee.

"From some of country music's legendary artists to the incredible songwriters and powerhouse executives, we are so excited to celebrate these well-deserved recipients next month at The Pinnacle in Nashville."
