The Country Music Association and ABC announce the first group of performers for the 60th annual CMA Awards, scheduled for Nov. 18. The lineup includes Ella Langley, Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert, Cody Johnson, Kacey Musgraves, and others.
Coverage highlights both the broad performer list and additional planned content. Billboard also notes a Dolly Parton tribute tied to the Nov. 18 show, alongside performances from The Red Clay Strays, Zach Top, and Tucker Wetmore. Deadline similarly emphasizes the initial performer lineup and also frames it around Ella Langley leading the 2026 nominations with nine, while naming several of the same artists.
