Lambert, Wallen, more highlight list of performers for 2022 CMA Awards

Twelve performing acts have been named for November 9th's 56th annual Country Music Association Awards.

Names including Jimmie Allen, Kelsea Ballerini, event co-host Luke Bryan, Kelly Clarkson, HARDY, Marcus King, Miranda Lambert, Carly Pearce, Carrie Underwood, Morgan Wallen, Lainey Wilson and Zac Brown Band will perform live at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena during the broadcast set to air from 8:00-11:00 p.m. ET on ABC.

Notably, Wallen will make his return to the CMA stage after being banned from even attending the ceremony in 2021. The recipient of his first CMA Entertainer of the Year nod will perform his latest single, "You Proof." As well, previously-mentioned CMA Awards co-host Bryan will perform his single "Country On," while record-setting 61-time CMA Award nominee Lambert will perform her song "Geraldene" from "Palomino," her 2022 album nominated for CMA Album of the Year. Underwood will also perform her newest single "Hate My Heart."

Kelsea Ballerini's "HEARTFIRST" album single "YOU'RE DRUNK, GO HOME" featuring Clarkson and Pearce will be spotlighted, as well as a duet between HARDY and Wilson -- two artists with nine nominations between them -- for their current single rising on country's radio charts, "wait in the truck." Zac Brown Band will also perform their latest single, "Out In The Middle," featuring Jimmie Allen and Marcus King.

The broadcast, hosted by Bryan and National Football League Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, will open with a star-studded tribute to Country Music Hall of Fame legend Loretta Lynn.
