\n\tIt\u2019s been a rocky road for the CMA<\/a> this week, but with the annual awards show imminent, the train must keep running. And on Tuesday, that\u2019s the announcement of additional performers added to an already star-packed roster.<\/a> Luke Combs,\u00a0Vince Gill,\u00a0Megan\u00a0Moroney,\u00a0Mumford & Sons, Chris\u00a0Stapleton, Stephen\u00a0Wilson\u00a0Jr., and host Lainey Wilson<\/a> will all perform, joining the previously announced Kacey Musgraves, Tim McGraw<\/a>, and Ella Langley<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tFor their CMA Awards<\/a> debut, Mumford & Sons will be joined by \u201cHere\u201d collaborator Stapleton \u2013 who is also scheduled to perform with fellow deep-voiced guitar virtuoso Wilson Jr. It\u2019s easy to understand why so many artists would clamor to take the awards-show stage with Stapleton: He\u2019s the source of one of the most talked about and beloved <\/a>CMA performances of all time.<\/p>\n \n\tThe night will also pay tribute to Brooks & Dunn<\/a>, this year\u2019s recipients of the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award with an ensemble performance from Brothers Osborne,\u00a0Luke Bryan,\u00a0Halestorm<\/a>,\u00a0Hardy,\u00a0and\u00a0Marcus\u00a0King. Though no details have been released about song choices, Brothers Osborne did cover \u201cHard Workin\u2019 Man\u201d on the Brooks & Dunn collaborative album Reboot<\/em>, with Hardy, Marcus King, and Halestorm<\/a> all featured on the second edition, Reboot II<\/em> (Halestorm\u2019s take on \u201cBoot Scootin\u2019 Boogie\u201d was a particular highlight).<\/p>\n \n\tOther already scheduled performers include Red Clay Strays, Zach Top, Miranda Lambert<\/a>, Cody Johnson, and Tucker Wetmore<\/a>. Airing live from Nashville\u2019s Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 18, the show will also boast a tribute to late country legend Dolly Parton<\/a>.<\/p>\n
