Eric Church, Lady Antebellum and Stevie Nicks to Perform at ACM Awards

Toby Keith is also set to take the stage at the annual awards show honoring country music April 6.

Country stars Eric Church, Toby Keith and Lady Antebellum with special guest Stevie Nicks have been added to the performers lineup at the 49th annual Academy of Country Music, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively. The Academy of Country Music and Dick Clark Productions made the joint announcement Friday.

They join previously announced performers Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, George Strait, Keith Urban, Florida Georgia Line and The Band Perry. Bryan and Shelton co-host this year's event, broadcast from the MGM Grant Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 6 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

Additional performers and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks.

Lambert and Tim McGraw lead this year's crop with seven nominations apiece, while Urban is close behind with six. Shelton, Lee Brice, Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves follow with five nominations.

The Academy of Country Music Awards honors and showcases the biggest names and emerging talent in the country music industry. Allen Shapiro, Mike Mahan, R.A. Clark and Barry Adelman serve as executive producers, with Bob Romeo for the Academy of Country Music.

Wow, Stevie's really getting around lately and I love it. :blob2:

Well, there's another award show I'll have to watch. I don't usually watch them, but with all the Stevie and Lindsey action we've been getting lately, I've been watching them more and more.

Interesting. I wonder if she'll perform as a duo with another group/artist, or if she'll break out one of her country-tinged songs?

If I understood the article correctly, she's Lady Antebellum's "special guest."

At least Mama isn't Taylor's special guest..

You're welcome, JohnnyStew. Charles Kelly just happened to mention it to me while we were searching under my bed for his pants. ;)

Stevie and Lady Antebellum singing together again? Be still my heart! They are amazing altogether, was hoping for a reunion of them, Yeah!

I wonder which song(s) they will perform from the Crossroads performances.

Anything that was performed from Crossroads will be amazing. It's great that LA and Stevie will be exposed to a larger audience with this great match up of talent.

I think Stevie has the crossover ability that Elvis Presley had and other Rock and Roll artists. I wish she would do more country. Her voice is one of a kind. It touches the heart and soul. I love Lady Antebellum and Stevie, so a special treat. I don't usually watch the award shows either, but will tune in to see our two Ladies. (Stevie and Lady A.);)

cool! is this the award show where Lindsey was a presenter last year, followed by Keith Urban and Little Big Town doing the cover of The Chain? it was some country awards show but not sure which one.

Hmm. Wonder if there is a tour in the works? :cool:

well....when she played with Lady A. last year....I really WAS expecting her to do some of her country(ish) tunes...."leather and lace", "after the glitter fades", "that's alright", "think about it" "the highwayman".....I was kind of disappointed that noone were included. I think it would be appropriate and fantastic if she would do "After the Glitter" for the Country Awards show.

[So, if you have a little boy, does Stevie still buy cute clothes for your baby?]

The annual Academy of Country Music Awards telecast is usually pretty open about welcoming artists from genres other than country, so it's no surprise to hear that Stevie Nicks has joined the lineup for this year's show, which CBS will air live from Las Vegas on April 6.

Nicks will sing with Lady Antebellum during the telecast, which will also include live performances from Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, The Band Perry and Florida Georgia Line, among others.


Nicks joining Lady Anetbellum for the ACM Awards performance makes a lot of sense. After all, the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman appeared on CMT Crossroads with the group last year, and the two acts have stayed in touch and remained friends since then. In fact, Stevie has been spoiling Eisele, the baby daughter of Lady Antebellum singer Hillary Scott, by sending her gifts of fabulous baby clothes.

"She's definitely taken her wardrobe up a few notches than what she had originally," Scott told ABC News Radio last year.

The reason you never found them is because they're still under MY bed! :p

I hope whatever they perform, it's something upbeat. If Stevie rocks out it's more likely to leave an impression with the audience/viewers!
