The biggest night in country music is fast approaching. The CMA Awards 2025, which will take place at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, will welcome some of country’s biggest, brightest stars for an evening of celebration.

Hosted by Lainey Wilson, a nine-time Country Music Award winner, Wednesday night’s awards show marks a historic occasion for the CMAs: It’s the first time three solo female country artists — Ella Langley, Megan Moroney and Wilson — are tied for the most nominations. Langley, Moroney and Wilson are each up for six awards, including Female Vocalist of the Year, Single of the Year and Music Video of the Year. All three women are also set to perform during the show.

Close behind in nominations is Zach Top, who has five, followed by Cody Johnson and Riley Green, who have four nods apiece.

The 59th annual awards show will also be filled with star-studded performances by notable country names, including Keith Urban, Chris Stapleton, Kelsea Ballerini, Brandi Carlile, Luke Combs and Miranda Lambert. Among this year’s CMA Award presenters are Grey’s Anatomy actress Jessica Capshaw, Austin Powers actress Elizabeth Hurley, Tell Me Lies star Grace Van Patten and R&B superstar Ne-Yo.

The 2025 Country Music Awards airs live on ABC at 8 p.m. ET and will be available to stream the following day on Hulu.
