The 2017 Radio Disney Awards Is Coming

You heard it, folks. The 2017 Radio Disney Awards is coming and Radio Disney will get things covered. In fact...

The 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards will be held on April 29, 2017, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. The ceremony will be shown on Radio Disney and Disney Channel the following night on April 30, 2017 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. (EDT). Performers include Hailee Steinfeld (Starving) Nick Jonas (Bacon), Train (Play That Song), Alessia Cara (Stay), Jordan Fisher (I'd Love to Change the World), Julia Michaels (Issues), Noah Cyrus (Make Me (Cry)), Sabrina Carpenter (Thumbs), Fitz and The Tantrums (HandClap), Grace VanderWaal (I Don't Know My Name), and Erin Bowman (Good Time Good Life).

Last year, we have Ariana Grande performing Dangerous Woman during the 2016 Radio Disney Awards while Tori Kelly performs Nobody Love at the 2015 Radio Disney Awards 2 years ago. During the production, on January 25, Radio Disney announced the five hosts of the 2017 edition: the singers including Jordan Fisher and Sofia Carson, the actress Jenna Ortega and Radio Disney's host Alex Aiono were chosen. The artists were chosen through a Twitter poll, where the audience indicated the names that should be invited. Tickets to attend the award show will be available on March 3, 2017.

There you have it, these are the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards nominees. Now, just to let you know that this only applies to mainstream music, not popular music as a whole like country music. That’s because country music is not mainstream music unless it’s a crossover hit or a pop song sung by a country artist. Shania Twain, anyone? Anyway, I’m looking forward to the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards when it hits Disney Channel at the end of this month.

What do you think? Sound off!
