Jason Aldean and newcomer Dasha have joined the performance lineup for the 2024 CMT Music Awards. The three-hour show is set to air live on Sunday, April 7 on CBS and will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
Aldean is set to perform “Let Your Boys Be Country,” which jumps from No. 46 to No. 40 on this week's Hot Country Songs chart. Dasha will perform her hit “Austin,” which jumps from No. 15 to No. 11 on that chart. The final song will serve as a tribute to the show's host city. The show, hosted by Kelsea Ballerini, will be broadcast from the Moody Center in Austin, Texas.
This will be Aldean's ninth performance on the CMT stage. In 2022, he joined Bryan Adams for a performance of Adams' 1985 “Heaven.” Other memorable performances on CMT include his 2011 “Dirt Road Anthem” collaboration with Ludacris, his 2013 collaboration with Kristen Bell where performed alongside Lenny Kravitz and as part of superstar Gregg Allman's 2017 tribute.
Trisha Yearwood will appear alongside Sam Hunt. He will also receive June's inaugural Carter Cash Humanitarian Award. The show will feature four other collaborative acts – Little Big Town + Sugarland, NEEDTOBREATHE + Jordan Davis, Old Dominion with Megan Moroney and Parker McCollum with Brittney Spencer.
Cody Johnson, Jelly Roll, Kelsea Ballerini, Lainey Wilson and Megan Moroney lead the 2024 CMT Music Awards nominations with three nods each. General voting is now closed. Voting for video of the year remains active on the show.
The show will air from 8-11pm on both coasts. Margaret Comeaux (CMT), John Hamlin (Switched on Entertainment), Leslie Fram (CMT) and Jason Owen (Sandbox Entertainment) are executive producing the series.
