We now know who at least some of the performers will be for the 2024 CMA Awards. The first round of performers has been announced, and includes hosts Luke Bryan and Lainey Wilson, along with Dierks Bentley, Post Malone, Shaboozey, Ashley McBryde, Chris Stapleton, Thomas Rhett and more.
Bryan will perform his recent No. 1 hit, “Love You, Miss You, Mean It,” while Wilson will perform her new single “4x4xU,” and Bentley will perform his Tom Petty cover, “American Girl” with Sierra Hull, Bronwyn Keith-Hynes and Molly Tuttle.
McBryde will perform a “showstopping” song that is yet to be announced. Post Malone will perform “Yours, a song about his daughter, along with a collaboration with Stapleton on “Sober.” Stapleton will also sing “What Am I Gonna Do.” Shaboozey will sing a medley of his hit single, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” plus his new single “Highway.” Rhett and Teddy Swims will sing a combination of their hits “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Woman” and “Lose Control.”
Wilson is joining Bryan and Peyton Manning for the first time to host the CMA Awards. Bryan and Manning were the co-hosts of the live ceremony for the last two years.
“I could not be more excited to host the CMA Awards this year with Luke and Peyton,” says Wilson. “It’s such an incredible honor and something I’ve always dreamed of doing. We’re planning a really great show for y’all, so make sure to watch on November 20!”
“Hosting the CMA Awards is such an honor and it’s crazy when I realize this is my fourth year back,” adds Bryan. “Peyton and I have really worked to build off each other and now adding Lainey to the mix will just bring another fun element to the night. Celebrating country music never gets old to me.”
Morgan Wallen leads the list of nominees, with a total of seven nods, followed by Cody Johnson and Chris Stapleton, who have five nominations each, and Post Malone and Wilson with three nods each.
