Known for their annual star-studded and surprise-filled roster, this year’s lineup included performances by Bobby Bones & The Raging Idiots, Miranda Lambert, O-Town, Bailey Zimmerman, Tracy Lawrence, Clint Black, George Birge, The Castellows and Iris Copperman.

Fans were treated to several surprise guests throughout the evening, with Matt Stell opening the show with “I Prayed For You,” and Maddie & Tae surprising fans with “Die From A Broken Heart” and “Cowboy Songs.” Russell Dickerson then revved up the crowd with his infectious energy, performing his hits “Blue Tacoma,” and “Yours,” along with his new single “Happen To Me.” Rock band Lit also performed their hits “My Own Worst Enemy” and “Miserable,” and the Turnpike Troubadours took the stage to perform “Diamonds & Gasoline” and “Good Lord Lorrie.”

The all-star night ended with a bang, as Lambert got fans on their feet with a boot-stomping version of her songs “Bluebird” and “Kerosene.” And as a final surprise, Bones welcomed Post Malone to the stage as the closing act, making his unofficial Ryman debut performing Hank Wiliams’ “Honky Tonk Blues” and his single “Stay.”

Since 2014, Bones and The Bobby Bones Show have raised over $27 million to help kids fight cancer and life-threatening diseases. Bones will host Music Night Live March 8 at 7 p.m. CT, giving viewers the chance to experience a Nashville Writer’s Round with an exclusive live broadcast from Nashville with stories and songs from award-winning songwriters.
