Check out all the country music stars who will take the stage at this year's big show.
Some of the biggest stars in country music will take the stage at the 2024 ACM Awards!
On Tuesday, the Academy of Country Music, Prime Video, and Dick Clark Productions announced several additional names for the star-studded lineup of country music stars who are set to rock the house at this year's big show.
Post Malone will make his debut on the legendary ACM Awards stage, alongside a newly added performance from 2022 New Male Artist of the Year Parker McCollum.
The big night will also feature a must-see lineup of powerhouse duets from Female Artist and Album of the Year nominee Kelsea Ballerini and Noah Kahan; New Male Artist of the Year nominee Nate Smith and Avril Lavigne; and six-time ACM Award recipient Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani.
ET previously spoke with Shelton about his upcoming performance with his wife, during which he admitted he doesn't have "creative input" on the performance.
"'Purple Irises' is for Gwen's album and I was just lucky enough that she asked me to be on the song, but I don't have any idea what she's gonna come up with for production," Shelton confessed. "You can probably expect some flowers but I don't know, I'm just along for the ride this time and I'm gonna enjoy it and just hang out. This is more about her and her record, and I'm glad I can help out in any way I can."
The former Voice judge added that it "made my heart happy" that the ACM reached out to Stefani to have her perform. "It made me happy, [made] my heart happy that that she's being embraced by the country music industry."
The musicians join the previously announced A-list country crooners like Jelly Roll, Miranda Lambert, Jason Aldean, Kane Brown and Cody Johnson, who are expected to perform at Ford Center's The Star venue in Frisco, Texas, on May 16 -- alongside Thomas Rhett, Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson.
Host Reba McEntire is set to take the stage as well, performing new music and serving as emcee for the 17th time!
Additionally, Stapleton, Wilson, Johnson, Brown and Jelly Roll are also all nominated at this year's ACM Awards.
Five-time ACM Awards winner for National On-Air Personality of the Year, Bobby Bones will also be featured throughout the night.
McEntire recently sat down with ET, and opened up about getting the chance to host the ACM Awards once more.
Looking back to the very first time she hosted the show in 1985, the celebrated songstress shared, "In a way it seems like 100 years, in a way it seems like it just flew by like that."
"[I have] great memories -- getting to work with Dick Clark, all the artists, the people that I co-hosted with," McEntire shared. "I think my favorite memories are the clothes that I got to wear that I wouldn't wear anyplace else other than the ACMs."
This will mark McEntire's first time hosting the show since 2019, and the singer explained what brought her back.
"I saw Dolly [Parton] and Garth {Brooks] doing it last year and I thought, 'Man, that's fun! They're having a great time,' and my competitiveness came in there," McEntire joked.
The singer said she always feels "exhilarated" when she takes the stage to host, because it's always unique and unpredictable, adding, "It's fun, I love live television. There's nothing like it."
The 59th Academy of Country Music Awards streams live May 16 on Prime Video.
A limited number of tickets to the 59th ACM Awards are available for purchase on SeatGeek, offering fans exclusive entry into a nonstop party packed with their favorite country stars performing the biggest hits from the last year and seats closer to the action than ever.
