Country vets Dan + Shay, Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, Ashley McBryde, Little Big Town and Maren Morris will also be performing. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, this year's performances will take place outdoors throughout the streets of Nashville.

Brown and Sarah Hyland will be hosting the event, PEOPLE exclusively announced last week. The country star and Modern Family actress will also be joined by two additional hosts to be revealed closer to the show.

"The CMT Music Awards have always been about bringing the fans and their favorite artists together to celebrate," Brown, 26, said in a press release. "I have so many great memories of the show-from watching as a fan at home to accepting my first industry award win on the CMT stage."
