LUKE, LAINEY, PEYTON TEAM TO HOST CMAS

9/30/24

The Country Music Association has decided that three heads are better than one by choosing Lainey Wilson, Luke Bryan and NFL great Peyton Manning to host this year’s CMA Awards.

The 58th annual event will air live on ABC on 11/20 and stream the next day on Hulu, with Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena once again serving as host venue. Robert Deaton will exec-produce the broadcast, Alan Carter will direct and Jon Macks will serve as head writer.

“Hosting the CMA Awards is such an honor and it’s crazy when I realize this is my 4th year back," said Bryan. "Peyton and I have really worked to build off each other and now adding Lainey to the mix will just bring another fun element to the night. Celebrating country music never gets old to me.”

Morgan Wallen leads the field with seven nominations, including Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year. Cody Johnson and 21-time CMA winner Chris Stapleton are each up for five awards, followed closely by Nashville newbie Post Malone and reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Wilson with four apiece.
