The CMA Awards just added a ton of firepower.
Eric Church, Florida Georgia Line and Kacey Musgraves were all recently tapped to perform at the event, which will air live on ABC (Nov. 5, 8 p.m. ET).
Rolling Stone reports the artists will be added to a performance list that already includes Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban.
Paisley and Underwood will host the event for the seventh consecutive year.
It's tough to find another awards show with that much star power on the stage, an the trio of recently announced artists piled up an impressive trove of awards in the past couple years. Here's their recent haul:
Eric Church
- Nominated for four awards, including Male Vocalist, Album of the Year (The Outsiders), Single/Song of the Year ("Give Me Back My Hometown")
- 2012 Album of the Year winner (Chief)
Florida Georgia Line
- Nominated for Vocal Duo of the Year
- 2013 Vocal Duo of the Year
Kacey Musgraves
- Nominated for three awards, including Female Vocalist of the Year, Song/Video of the Year ("Follow Your Arrow")
- 2013 New Artist of the Year
Church recently discussed his new single "Talladega," which is surprisingly unrelated to NASCAR.
"It has nothing to do with that," Church told Billboard.biz. "That is nothing more than the avenue through which the commentary took place. It's really about life. What you see on TV there has nothing to do really with racing. It's about that experience, whatever that is: the experience with the person next to you, and knowing that that's probably a finite time in your life. It's not gonna last forever."
