Kacey Musgraves, Little Big Town and Miranda Lambert appeared in the next round of performers at the 61st ACM Awards, the Academy of Country Music confirmed.

Musgraves will perform a new song from her upcoming sixth studio album during her ACM Awards performance debut. Little Big Town will deliver “a special performance,” and Lambert, the most-awarded artist in ACM history, will take the stage with “a show-stopping” moment, per a press release issued Tuesday (April 7).

The latest round of performers join Lainey Wilson, Riley Green and Cody Johnson in the star-studded lineup, and the Academy of Country Music teased “many more unforgettable performances to be revealed in the coming weeks,” states the release. This year’s event is slated to return to the MGM Garden Arena stage in Las Vegas, Nevada, switching locations after a three-year run at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco Texas. The Academy’s announcement on Tuesday states that the show “will feature unprecedented performances, exclusive collaborations, and unexpected moments from the biggest Country Music stars, all while celebrating the genre’s most iconic and emerging talent.”
