Watch Eric Church Perform New Single Live For First Time At 2025 ACM Awards

Country music's greatest put on their best boots for the 60th annual American Country Music Awards on Thursday (May 8) in Frisco, Texas, including the legendary Eric Church!

The "Drink in My Hand" hitmaker was one of the first performers to take the stage and wasted no time setting the tone for the evening with 2025 track "Hands Of Time," featuring on his new album, Evangeline vs. the Machine, released May 2!

The artist sang "But young at heart is so easy/ When you let some loud guitars/ And words and rhymes/ Handle the hands of time" as a giant clock ticked behind him. Church, accompanied by a band, wore a snazzy orange jacket and his signature sunglasses as he revealed the perfect "remedy for handling the hands of time" to an excited audience.

The "Springsteen" standout's Free The Machine Tour, featuring openers Elle KingMarcus King Band, and Charles Wesley Godwin, is set to kick off in September!

Blake Shelton, Little Big Town, Lainey Wilson, Chris Stapelton, Cody Johnson, Jelly Roll, Zach Top, Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, Megan Moroney, Kelsea Ballerini, Reba McEntire, Ella Langley, Rascal Flatts, Miranda Lambert, Clint Black, LeAnn Rimes, Wynonna Judd, Dan + Shay, Shaboozey, Brothers Osborne, and Sugarland also stole the show at this year's anniversary show.
