Post Malone, Chris Stapleton, Dierks Bentley, and Shaboozey are among the artists who will take the stage at the 2024 CMA Awards, taking place Nov. 20 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.
Luke Bryan and Lainey Wilson — who will both co-host the award show alongside Peyton Manning — will each also perform at the event, along with Thomas Rhett, Teddy Swims, Ashley McBryde, Sierra Hull, Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, Ashley McBryde, and Molly Tuttle.
Malone, a first-time CMA Awards nominee this year, will deliver his song “Yours” and will also be joined onstage by Stapleton for their collaboration “California Sober”; Stapleton is set to play his own “What Am I Gonna Do” as well.
Other CMA Awards collaborations will see Bentley linking up with Tuttle, Hull and Keith-Hynes for a rendition of Tom Petty’s “American Girl,” while Rhett and Swims will mashup their hits “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Woman” and “Lose Control.”
First-time nominee and Best New Artist candidate Shaboozy will perform his Hot 100-reigning hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” along with new single “Highway,” Wilson will sing her “4X4XU,” and Bryan is set to share his “Love You, Miss You, Mean,” the singer’s 31st Number One country hit.
More performers and this year’s presenters will be announced in the coming weeks.
Morgan Wallen is the top nominee at the 2024 CMA Awards with seven total nods, mostly on the strength of his chart-topping collaboration with Malone, “I Had Some Help.” The song is up for Single of the Year, Song of the Year, Musical Event of the Year, and Music Video of the Year, and also garners Malone his first-ever CMA nominations (with four). Wallen is also up for Male Vocalist, Musical Event (for his duet with Eric Church, “Man Made a Bar”), and the top prize of Entertainer of the Year.
In addition to Wallen, this year’s Entertainer field includes Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton, and the 2023 winner, Lainey Wilson. Wilson is nominated for three other awards: Female Vocalist, Music Video of the Year for “Wildflowers and Wild Horses,” and Single of the Year for “Watermelon Moonshine.”
Beyoncé, who became the first Black woman to ever top Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with her LP Cowboy Carter, as well as the first Black woman to hit Number One on the Hot Country Songs chart with her song “Texas Hold ‘Em,” did not receive any nominations.
