Kacey Musgraves, Little Big Town, and Miranda Lambert join the list of artists slated to perform at the Academy of Country Music Awards. The ceremony will be held at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena and will be broadcast live exclusively on Prime Video and Amazon Music beginning at 8 p.m. ET on May 17.
The awards show’s previously announced performers include Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson, and Riley Green. Nominees for the awards will be announced on Thursday. Tickets for the event are available now via AXS.
Musgraves, who has won seven ACM Awards over the years, will perform at the show for first time. She’s set to sing an as-yet-unannounced song from her upcoming album, Middle of Nowhere, which is set for a May 1 release. Similarly, the details of what Little Big Town and Miranda Lambert plan to perform have not yet been announced.
