The performers poised to take the stage at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium on April 11 were announced on Tuesday, and include some of the genre's most popular artists. Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd, Little Big Town, Kane Brown, Carly Pearce, Cole Swindell and Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, and Kelsea Ballerini, who is hosting the show with Anthony Mackie, will all perform at the 2022 CMT Music Awards.
