The first round of performers have been revealed for the 58th annual CMA Awards.

Returning as host for a fourth straight year, two-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan is set to perform his 31st No. 1 hit, “Love You, Miss You, Mean It.” First-time CMA Awards host, reigning Entertainer of the Year and four-time nominee this year, Lainey Wilson will also take the stage to sing her current single, “4x4xU,” and Female Vocalist of the Year nominee Ashley McBryde will be on hand to deliver a special performance. Among the lineup are first-time nominees Post Malone, who will treat the crowd to “Yours,” a song inspired by his daughter, and Shaboozey, who is set to perform a medley of his multi-Platinum smash “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and new single “Highway.” Reigning Male Vocalist of the Year and five-time nominee Chris Stapleton will also grace the stage for “What Am I Gonna Do.”

Additionally, three-time CMA Award winner Dierks Bentley will be joined by Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull and Bronwyn Keith-Hynes for a rendition of Tom Petty’s “American Girl.” Post Malone and Stapleton will also unite to perform “California Sober,” and two-time CMA Award winner Thomas Rhett will welcome Teddy Swims to the CMA Awards stage, as a mash-up of their hits “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Woman” and “Lose Control” will mark their first performance together.

The awards ceremony will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 20 from 7 p.m.–10 p.m. CT on ABC, and will be available next day on Hulu.
