Four of the five nominees for entertainer of the year – Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson – are set to perform on the 2024 CMA Awards, which will air live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Wednesday (Nov. 20). Of the nominees for entertainer of the year, only Morgan Wallen has not been announced as a performer on the broadcast.
The show will be hosted by Luke Bryan, Peyton Manning and Wilson.
Combs will perform “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma,” the opening track on Twisters: The Album. The song topped Billboard’s Country Airplay chart for two weeks in September and October. Jelly Roll will join Brooks & Dunn on a performance of their 2006 classic, “Believe.” The hit won both single and song of the year at the 2006 CMAs.
Stapleton will perform twice on the show. He will sing “What Am I Gonna Do,” the opening track from his album Higher. He will also team with Post Malone to perform their “California Sober” collaboration from Posty’s album F-1 Trillion LP. (For his part, Post will also perform “Yours,” the closing track from F-1 Trillion.)
Wilson will perform her single “4x4xU,” which is currently up to No. 21 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. Her co-host, Bryan, will take the stage for “Love You, Miss You, Mean It,” which reached No. 2 on Country Airplay last month, becoming his 36th top 10 hit on that chart.
Shaboozey, a first-time nominee this year with two nods, will perform a medley of his breakthrough smash “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” — which has logged 17 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — and his new single, “Highway.”
Performing together for the first time, Thomas Rhett and Teddy Swims will offer a mash-up of Rhett’s “Somethin’ ’Bout a Woman,” from his new album About a Woman, and Swims’ “Lose Control,” a recent No. 1 hit on the Hot 100.
Dierks Bentley will be joined by Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull and Bronwyn Keith-Hynes for a performance of Tom Petty’s 1976 classic, “American Girl.” Bentley performed the rock classic on this year’s Petty Country: A Country Music Celebration ofTom Petty.
There will also be a star-studded tribute in honor of George Strait, this year’s recipient of the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award.
This year’s CMAs will include performances of two of this year’s nominees for musical event of the year. Langley and Green will perform “you look like you love me,” which is currently No. 7 on the Country Airplay chart. Ballerini and Kahan will perform “Cowboys Cry Too,” which reached No. 27 on that chart in July.
Other performances set for the show include Moroney’s “Am I Okay?” Musgraves’ “The Architect” and Zimmerman’s “New to Country.”
