The 2021 Academy of Country Music Awards are shaping up to be one exciting night!

Then, Dierks Bentley will perform U2's "Pride (In the Name of Love)" with husband and wife duo The War and Treaty, before other performers take the stage, including, Brothers Osborne ("I'm Not For Everyone"), Kenny Chesney ("Knowing You"), Eric Church ("Bunch of Nothing"), Luke Combs ("Forever After All"), Dan + Shay ("Glad You Exist"), Mickey Guyton ("Hold On"), Alan Jackson with "You'll Always Be My Baby" and a special mashup for "Drive (For Daddy Gene)," Lambert with Jack Ingram and Jon Randall ("In His Arms"), Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd ("Chasing After You"), Thomas Rhett premiering "What's Your Country Song" and "Country Again," Chris Stapleton ("Maggie's Song"), and Chris Young and Kane Brown ("Famous Friends").

Further performances include Carly Pearce and Lee Brice duetting on "I Hope You're Happy Now," Carrie Underwood performing a medley from her recently released album of gospel hymns, My Savior — which will also feature a duet with CeCe Winans — and Kelsea Ballerini and Chesney performing with one another for "half of my hometown." Blake Shelton will also celebrate the 20th anniversary of his first hit single "Austin," as well as his more recently released track, "Minimum Wage."
