For fans of country music, tonight will be another night full of rocking country songs and awards for the best of the best in that genre of music.

The Voice judge (and sometimes country singer, I kid) Blake Shelton and first time co-host, Luke Bryan will be taking the reigns as hosts of the evening. Performers will include, Hunter Hayes with Stevie Wonder, Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift with Keith Urban, George Strait, Garth Brooks and even a collaboration between John Mayer and Brad Paisley.

While the laundry list of performers is enough for a country fan to tune in, the list of presenters aren’t that far off either. Presenters include, Gary Allan, Faith Hill, Shania Twain, Trisha Yearwood, Chris Young, Eli Young Band and many more.

For the full list of performers and presenters, tune in tonight at 8 p.m. on CBS for the live airing of the show on the east coast and a tape delay for those on the west coast.
