Kane Brown, Maren Morris and Luke Bryan are among the just-announced performers for the 2020 CMT Music Awards.

Ashley McBryde, Dan + Shay and Little Big Town are also slated to take the stage during the upcoming show, according to CMT.

All of the performers are also current nominees.

Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Combs, Sam Hunt and Thomas Rhett are the top nominees in 2020, each raking in six nominations each.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the awards show was forced to reschedule from June and will now air on October 21 at 8 p.m. CT on CMT as well as on MTV, MTV2, Logo, Paramount Network, Pop Tv and TV Land. The show is expected to feature “epic outdoor performances in and around Music City,” as per a press release.

The CMT Music Awards are country music’s only entirely fan-voted awards show.
