November 6, 2025/by Lauryn Sink

The Country Music Association has unveiled the first round of performances for the 59th annual CMA Awards, set for Nov. 19.

BigXthaPlug, Luke Combs, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Shaboozey, Zach Top, Tucker Wetmore, Lainey Wilson and Stephen Wilson Jr. will each take the stage throughout the night.

In addition to her performance, Wilson will serve as the host of the evening for the second consecutive year. A three-time nominee, Combs will deliver his latest single “Back in the Saddle.” Reigning CMA Musical Event of the Year winner Langley will perform her recently-released song “Choosin’ Texas,” while fellow nominee and the reigning CMA New Artist of the Year Moroney will take the stage for a performance of her single “6 Months Later.”

Top will deliver a performance of his song “Guitar.” New Artist of the Year nominee Wetmore will perform his viral track “Wind Up Missin’ You.” Fellow New Artist of the Year nominee, Wilson Jr. will bring a rendition of Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me.”

Collaborations this year will include BigXthaPlug joining Combs for their song “Pray Hard,” and Shaboozey teaming up with Wilson Jr. for a rendition of their ballad “Took A Walk” from the recently released film The Long Walk.

The 59th Annual CMA Awards broadcasts live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on ABC and next day on Hulu.
