Kelsea Ballerini, Brandi Carlile, Kenny Chesney, Riley Green, Miranda Lambert, Patty Loveless, Old Dominion, The Red Clay Strays, and Chris Stapleton have joined the star-studded 59th CMA Awards lineup, the Country Music Association revealed on Thursday morning (November 13).

The newest round of performers join BigXthaPlug, Luke Combs, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Shaboozey, Zach Top, Tucker Wetmore, Lainey Wilson and Stephen Wilson Jr.

Lainey Wilson is returning to host Country Music’s Biggest Night for her second consecutive year, and this time, she’s hosting solo (she made her debut in 2024 alongside Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning). This marks the first time a female artist has solo hosted the CMA Awards since Reba McEntire hosted more than three decades ago. Wilson previously said she “grew up watching the CMA Awards like it was the Super Bowl, so to be hosting for a second year is a true honor. I’m humbled that CMA has trusted me with this role, and I can’t wait to love on this genre that has given me so much.”

Some of the top nominees include Wilson, Langley, Moroney, Top, Green, Cody Johnson and more. Find the full list of CMA Award nominees here.

The Country Music Association announced this spring that the 59th CMA Awards will air live on ABC at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on November 19. The show will be available to stream the following day on Hulu.
