CLEVELAND, Ohio - This year's APMAs should feel a little different to anyone who's attended previous shows.

The annual event honoring the best in various rock genres returns to Cleveland on Monday night at State Theatre. But it comes with a slight change in focus.

After a trip to this year's Grammys, Alternative Press founder and publisher Mike Shea was inspired to create an APMAs driven by a made-for-TV vibe, as opposed to a typical concert you might attend during the summer.

Thus, you don't need tickets to State Theatre to see this year's show in all its glory. The 2017 APMAs will air live on Amazon Music. The show will also be available through Amazon's Twitch channel, which is supported on numerous devices and formats, including PlayStation and Xbox gaming systems, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire tablets and more.

"The APMAs serve the artists and fans that celebrate living life at full tilt and not making sacrifices in order to produce the art that they want to make and hear," said Dusty Kraatz, founder of XI Media Productions, the production company behind this year's APMAs.

"XI Media have always approached producing live music content in the same way. "Our goal this year is to allow the intensity and raw energy that is the spirit of the APMAs to really shine by producing an award show that isn't quietly sitting back and observing from a distance."

The 2017 APMAs will be hosted by Andy Black of Black Veil Brides. Performers and presenters include Korn, Pierce The Veil, Machine Gun Kelly, The Pretty Reckless, All Time Low and more. The broadcast begins at 7 p.m.

The red carpet arrivals are scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m. Alternative Press will stream the entire red carpet on its Facebook page.
