EVEN MORE COUNTRY STARS TO DESCEND ON SIN CITY

Ballerini, Bentley, Church & Hunt Join List of Performers for
This Year's ACM Awards

Kelsea Ballerini, Dierks Bentley, Eric Church and Sam Hunt have been added to the performance bill for the 51st ACM Awards, set to take place on 4/3 at Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena.

The group joins previously announced crowd-drawers Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Florida Georgia Line and Cam.

The event—to be hosted by Luke Bryan and Bentley—is scheduled to air on CBS at 8pm live ET/delayed PT.

Church leads the nominations with six, while Little Big Town and Chris Stapleton follow with five each. That may seem impressive, but keep in mind that if there was an awards show for middle-aged editorial hacks, we'd be the frontrunners by a mile and a half.

As for these noms, though, be sure to read HITS Nashville correspondent Holly Gleason's detailed piece on the matter, and find out who you should be placing your bets on.
