During the three-hour special, roughly 30 songs will be performed by a range of artists from rising stars like Lainey Wilson, HARDY, Cody Johnson and Jelly Roll to legends like Reba McEntire, Tanya Tucker and Alabama. Luke Combs will perform his hit, “Love You Anyway,” while Luke Bryan performs his current summer-friendly single, “But I Got A Beer In My Hand.” Jordan Davis will sing his CMA-winning Song of the Year collaboration with Bryan, “Buy Dirt,” and Keith Urban will deliver his motivational hit, “Wild Hearts.”

Miranda Lambert will make multiple appearances throughout the show via a pair of collaborations. She teams up with Avril Lavigne for a combo performance of her hit “Kerosene” and Lavigne’s classic “Sk8er Boi” and serenades viewers with Leon Bridges on their new duet, “If You Were Mine.” Lambert and CMA Fest co-host Elle King also sing their jubilant song, “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home).” Wilson and HARDY will also appear twice, with Wilson singing her summertime love song, “Watermelon Moon Shine” and HARDY performing “Truck Bed” before the two unite for their sinister duet, “wait in the truck.”

Other collaborations are Johnson and McEntire performing one of the latter’s signature hits, “Whoever’s in New England,” and Carly Pearce taking the stage with Jo Dee Messina to perform one of Messina’s biggest hits, “I’m Alright.” Alabama, who were the recipients of the CMA Pinnacle Award during the festival, will deliver one of their timeless hits, “Mountain Music.”

Eric Church, Dan + Shay, Ashley McBryde and Darius Rucker are among the many other performers who take the Nissan Stadium stage when CMA Fest airs on Wednesday (July 19) at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. The night before, ABC will broadcast the documentary, CMA Fest: 50 Years of Fan Fair.
