In
2014, the APMAs made a grand entrance with once-in-a-lifetime
performances, a star-studded red carpet and unprecedented support from dedicated
fans around the world. If last year’s show serves as any indication, 2015’s
event is gearing up to be even bigger and better than its spectacular inaugural
experience. As previously announced, the APMAs are taking place this year
on July 22 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. We are excited to be live
broadcasting again via AXS TV. The show is being moved to a bigger venue
based on anticipated growth reflected by the astounding success of last year’s
event.

Our
hosts for this year’s event will be hilarious heartthrobs Alex Gaskarth
and Jack Barakat of Billboard-chart topping group and
five-time AP cover stars All Time Low.  

In
addition to respective title and presenting sponsors Journeys and
Monster Energy Drink, the APMAs are welcoming back other top
sponsors, including AXS TV, CreativeLive, Destination Cleveland, Disc Makers,
DW Drums, Equal Vision Records, EarthQuaker Devices, idobi radio, Lace
Pickups, MerchNOW, Rise Records, Splat! Hair Care and the Rock And
Roll Hall Of Fame And Museum.
