Ella Langley and Zach Top joined the star-studded lineup at the milestone 60th ACM Awards, the Academy of Country Music announced on Monday morning (April 28). The lineup addition arrives days after Langley and Top were revealed the New Female Artist of the Year and New Male Artist of the Year, respectively.

Other performers at the upcoming show, celebrating six decades of country music over the coiurse of two and a half hours, include reigning Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson, Blake Shelton, Eric Church, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Chris Stapleton, Clint Black, Cody Johnson, Kelsea Ballerini, LeAnn Rimes, Miranda Lambert, Rascal Flatts, and Wynonna Judd. Additionally, Reba McEntire is returning to host the show for her 18th time, more than any other artist, when the ACMs return to the world headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys at The Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.

Brooks & Dunn surprised Top with his first ACM victory when the breakthrough country star played for a sold out crowd in Wilmington, North Carolina. Lambert revealed the news to Langley — the artist who received the most nominations this year — when the “weren’t for the wind” singer took the stage in Knoxville, Tennessee. See the full list of nominees below.
