2024 CMT Music Awards: Jelly Roll, Keith Urban, Sam Hunt, Kelsea Ballerini and More to Perform

2024 CMT Music Awards: Jelly Roll, Keith Urban, Sam Hunt, Kelsea Ballerini and More to Perform

The first round of performers set to hit the stage at this year's CMT Music Awards have been announced!

Kelsea Ballerini -- who will be serving as host for the fourth consecutive year -- is taking the stage to perform, and will be joined by a slew of other A-list talents belting out their hits at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, next month.

Jelly Roll will once again be there for another show-stopping number. The artist is one of the most nominated performers of the year, which comes on the heels of him sweeping his categories last year.

Meanwhile, Bailey Zimmerman -- the rising country music star who is also up for Male Video of the Year -- will make his performing debut, singing his hit single, "Where It Ends."

Keith Urban -- four-time GRAMMY winning country singer and nine-time CMT Award winner -- will take the stage for a record-setting 20th time and will perform his single, "Straight Line," off his upcoming album.

Additionally, Sam Hunt --  a past winner for Breakthrough Video of the Year and a nine-time CMT Music Awards nominee -- will debut a brand-new single during the star-studded show.

Finally, country crooner Lainey Wilson -- who recently took home a GRAMMY Award and is tied this year with Jelly Roll for most-nominated artist -- will deliver a rendition of her new single, "Country's Cool Again."

In February, after it was announced that Ballerini had been tapped to emcee the ceremony once again, the songstress expressed how thrilled she is to be heading up the awards show another time.

"I couldn't be more excited to be back for my fourth year with my CMT family to host this year’s CMT Music Awards in Austin, Texas," Ballerini said in a statement. "Hosting an awards show that celebrates the music that the fans love most has been an honor and I know this year will be another unforgettable night."

And earlier this year, ET spoke with Ballerini, who again expressed her excitement about the annual gig.

"I love the CMTs. I grew up watching them, but more so it's the show that's really [has] such a beautiful, light, fun, celebratory energy," she told ET's Rachel Smith. "It's all about the fans, which country music to me is the genre that really has always been about that and that relationship and nurturing it. So I just think it's fun, it's light, it's celebratory and it's all about the music and the fans."

While she's flying solo this year -- after previously co-hosting with Kane Brown last year -- the "Peter Pan" singer teased some surprises. 

"I think I might call up some friends just for a little help throughout the show, just to make it feel a little more warm and fuzzy," she added. 

The CMT Music Awards takes place on Sunday, April 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas. The show will air on CBS and will be also available to stream live and on demand via Paramount+.
