The show, hosted by Luke Bryan and Dierks Bentley, will have plenty of star power and some unexpected celebrities partnerships. Miranda Lambert will be there to perform with Billy Gibbons and Keith Urban, and Dolly Parton will sing alongside pop star Katy Perry. Other performers include Blake Shelton, Chris Stapleton and Carrie Underwood, just to name a few.

The ACM Awards also will be a little different than usual. Although fans got to voice their opinions in the entertainer of the year category at previous ceremonies, they will not get to vote this year. Billboard reports that the ACM board felt too much campaigning was happening, so now industry professionals will choose the winner. Lambert, Bryan, Eric Church, Garth Brooks and Jason Aldean are nominated for the coveted award. Fans will have to tune in online or via TV to find out who is the 2016 entertainer of the year.
