Keith Urban, Eric Church, Ashley McBryde and others will take the stage at the 17th ACM Honors.
The Academy of Country Music revealed the first round of performers in the star-studded lineup on Wednesday (July 31). So far, the list of performers includes Eric Church, Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, Tyler Hubbard, Jamey Johnson, Ashley McBryde, Darius Rucker and Keith Urban. Additional performers, presenters and other details about the event will be announced in the coming weeks, the Academy stated in a press release.
Carly Pearce will return to host the ACM Honors for her fourth consecutive year. This time, instead of solo hosting the show that’s hailed the “Country Music Industry’s favorite night,” Pearce will share co-hosting duties with “Next Thing You Know” artist Jordan Davis. Pearce previously said “it’s always an unforgettable night that I look forward to, and I’m excited to have Jordan joining me this year.”
The ACM Honors recognizes artists, songwriters and other industry professionals. This year, special honorees include Lainey Wilson, Luke Bryan, Alan Jackson, Trisha Yearwood, Chris Stapleton and more. Wilson cemented her coveted ACM Triple Crown Award at the 59th ACM Awards earlier this year in Texas. The Bell Bottom Country singer won Entertainer of the Year, and became the first female artist to win the Triple Crown in three consecutive years (she won Female Artist of the Year and New Female Artist of the Year in 2023 and 2022, respectively). That puts her in the same company as Jason Aldean, Brooks & Dunn, Kenny Chesney, Mickey Gilley, Merle Haggard, Miranda Lambert, Barbara Mandrell, Chris Stapleton and Carrie Underwood.
The 17th ACM Honors will take place on Wednesday, August 21. It will return to the historic Ryman Auditorium in Downtown Nashville, Tennessee.
