The Academy of Country Music has revealed more talent for the highly anticipated 18th ACM Honors, set for August 20 at The Pinnacle, Nashville’s newest high-tech venue.
Joining the previously announced star-studded roster are rising artist Carter Faith, award-winning songwriter Ashley Gorley, genre-blending vocalist K. Michelle, and breakout star Tucker Wetmore. These additions round out an already impressive lineup that includes Luke Bryan, Ashley McBryde, Amy Grant, Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild, and Carly Pearce—who returns to host for her fifth consecutive year, this time alongside first-time co-host Russell Dickerson.
“This night holds a special place in my heart,” said Pearce. “It shines a light on the unsung heroes of country music.” Dickerson added, “I’m proud to help honor the people who keep the music alive from behind the scenes.”
This year’s honorees represent a broad spectrum of talent, including legends like Randy Travis and Eric Church, contemporary stars Luke Combs and Lainey Wilson, and notable contributors such as Jelly Roll, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Mac McAnally.
The ACM Honors has become one of Nashville’s most heartfelt celebrations, recognizing those whose work fuels the genre’s growth and success. Additional presenters and surprises are still to come, promising a night of gratitude, music, and unforgettable moments.
