The upcoming CMA Awards ceremony is getting an even more star-studded lineup, as the countdown marches on toward the awards ceremony’s 60th annual event, slated for Nov. 18 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.
In celebrating six decades of country music, Brothers Osborne will join Luke Bryan, HARDY, Marcus King and rock band Halestorm to celebrate Brooks & Dunn, who are the recipients of the CMA Willie Nelson lifetime achievement award. Other newly-added performers on the lineup include Luke Combs, Vince Gill, Megan Moroney, Mumford & Sons, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson and Stephen Wilson Jr.
Mumford & Sons will make their CMA Awards debut and will be joined by Stapleton, who is up for four trophies this year, including entertainer of the year and male vocalist of the year. Stapleton will perform twice during the show, also teaming up with Stephen Wilson Jr., who has four nominations this year, including new artist of the year, male vocalist of the year, music video of the year and song of the year (“Gary”).
These performers join previously-announced artists on the CMA lineup, including Ella Langley, Kacey Musgraves, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Tim McGraw and more.
Reigning CMA entertainer of the year Lainey Wilson returns as host for her third consecutive year, and is also in the running with three nominations this year, including entertainer, female vocalist and single of the year (for “Somewhere Over Laredo”).
Langley leads this year’s nominees with nine nods, including entertainer, album (Dandelion), female vocalist, musical event and music video of the year, as well as two nominations for single and song of the year.
