Garth Brooks, Kane Brown and Luke Combs are among the artists confirmed to perform at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards.

Brooks will take the stage alongside five of his band members to perform during the star-studded show. The superstar will also receive the coveted Icon Award during the broadcast.

“I’m gonna be lucky enough to perform and pick up a little thing called the Icon Award,” Brooks previously shared. “I’m flattered. I’m humbled. This is gonna be fun.”

Garth Brooks, a 19-time Billboard Music Award winner, is one of only nine artists to ever receive the prestigious award, following Cher, Neil Diamond, Celine Dion, Jennifer Lopez, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey.

Brown, who is a three-time nominee this year, will take the stage to perform his song “Be Like That” with Swae Lee and Khalid.

Combs, who took home the title of top country artist at last year, is also confirmed to perform. He is currently up for four BBMAs.

Hosted by Kelly Clarkson, the 2020 Billboard Music Awards will air live on NBC on Oct. 14 at 8 p.m. ET from Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre.
