New performers announced for Nashville’s biggest night of celebration and storytelling!
The Academy of Country Music has officially added even more firepower to this year’s 18th ACM Honors lineup. Rising talent Carter Faith, hitmaking songwriter Ashley Gorley, genre-bending artist K. Michelle, and breakout country newcomer Tucker Wetmore are the latest names set to take the stage at The Pinnacle on August 20 in Nashville.
They’ll join a previously announced roster of high-wattage performers including Luke Bryan, Russell Dickerson, Karen Fairchild, Amy Grant, Ashley McBryde, and Carly Pearce. It’s a night where Nashville’s past, present, and future converge, an annual tradition that honors the artists, songwriters, producers, and industry trailblazers shaping country music’s legacy.
Returning to host for the fifth year, Carly Pearce will share emcee duties with Russell Dickerson, who steps into the ACM Honors spotlight as host for the first time. Together, they’ll guide the night’s tributes and performances honoring a powerhouse slate of honorees: Eric Church, Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Rissi Palmer, Randy Travis, Lainey Wilson, Jessie Jo Dillon, Mac McAnally, and others who’ve helped define the sound and soul of modern country.
This year’s ceremony also recognizes cultural moments and media contributions, including the summer blockbuster Twisters, as well as radio executive Ben Vaughn and influential banker Lori Badgett for their behind-the-scenes impact.
Presented at The Pinnacle at Nashville Yards, the ACM Honors is one of Music City’s most intimate and heartfelt events, where emotional speeches, musical homages, and genre-spanning collaborations take center stage. It’s not your typical awards show. It’s a story-driven evening that lifts up the unsung heroes and deep cuts of country music history.
Limited tickets and premium seating are still available via AXS, but they’re expected to move quickly as the event draws closer. This year’s ACM Honors is sponsored by Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey and Licor 43. Additional performers, presenters, and surprises are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

It’s shaping up to be a night country fans won’t want to miss.
