The lineup for the 59th Annual CMA Awards just got even bigger with the addition of Kelsea Ballerini, Brandi Carlile, Kenny Chesney, Riley Green, Miranda Lambert, Patty Loveless, Old Dominion, The Red Clay Strays, and Chris Stapleton.
Ballerini will make the television debut of her brand-new song, “I Sit In Parks,” while Carlile is set to deliver a “can’t-miss” performance.
Fresh off his Country Music Hall of Fame induction, Kenny Chesney will take the stage for a special moment honoring his milestone achievement.
Four-time nominee Riley Green will perform his fan-favorite track, “Worst Way,” and Patty Loveless will return to the spotlight for a rare, “show-stopping” appearance.
Old Dominion, the seven-time reigning CMA Vocal Group of the Year, will keep the energy high with a medley of their biggest hits, including “Break Up With Him,” “Memory Lane,” “One Man Band,” “Hotel Key,” and “Snapback.” Fellow nominees The Red Clay Strays will bring their signature Southern rock energy to “People Hatin’,” and Chris Stapleton will perform “Bad As I Used To Be” from F1: The Movie.
Additionally, CMA Female Vocalist of the Year nominee Miranda Lambert will join Stapleton for a performance of their duet “A Song To Sing.”
The newly announced performers join BigXThaPlug, Luke Combs, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Shaboozey, Zach Top, Tucker Wetmore, Lainey Wilson and Stephen Wilson Jr.
Fans can expect CMA Awards presenters to be announced in the coming days.
The 59th Annual CMA Awards, dubbed “Country Music’s Biggest Night” will be hosted by Lainey Wilson, who will take the reins as a solo host after co-hosting with Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning last year.
“I grew up watching the CMA Awards like it was the Super Bowl, so to be hosting for a second year is a true honor,” Wilson previously shared. “I’m humbled that CMA has trusted me with this role, and I can’t wait to love on this genre that has given me so much.”
“Country Music’s Biggest Night” broadcasts live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Wednesday Nov. 19 (8:00-11:00 PM/ET) on ABC and is available next day on Hulu.
