Post Malone, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton & More Set to Perform at 2024 CMA Awards

UPDATE (Nov. 14): Luke Combs will perform “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma,” the opening track on Twisters: The Album, on the 58th Annual CMA Awards, which are set to air live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Wednesday Nov. 20. The song topped Billboard’s Country Airplay chart for two weeks in September and October.

Kelsea Ballerini, Brooks & Dunn, Eric Church, Riley Green, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Ella Langley, Noah Kahan, Megan Moroney, Kacey Musgraves and Bailey Zimmerman have also been added as performers to this year’s show, which will be hosted by Luke Bryan, Peyton Manning and Lainey Wilson.

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.

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.”

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.

ABC will broadcast the three-hour show on Wednesday Nov. 20 from 8:00-11:00 p.m. ET. It will also be available next day on Hulu.

Post will perform “Yours,” the closing track from his album F-1 Trillion. Stapleton will perform “What Am I Gonna Do,” the opening track from his album Higher. The two stars will also team to perform “California Sober,” a track from F-1 Trillion on which they collaborated.

Shaboozey, a first-time nominee this year with two nods, will perform a medley of his breakthrough smash “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which is in its 16th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and his new single “Highway.” Both songs are featured on his album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going.

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. The two Georgia natives also had a hand in co-writing Rhett’s “Angels (Don’t Always Have Wings),” a No. 1 hit on Country Airplay in 2023. Before that, they teamed on Swims’ pre-fame 2020 song “Broke.”

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 of Tom Petty.
