Some of the genre's biggest stars will band together to honor the late icon!

With the 2024 CMT Music Awards only days away, CMT has announced the biggest performance yet! Sunday's award show now will now also feature an all-star tribute to country legend Toby Keith featuring a stacked lineup of one-of-a-kind performances from Brooks & Dunn, Lainey Wilson and Sammy Hagar, all backed by Toby’s longtime band, with special appearances by Lukas Nelson and Roger Clemens.

CMT and Keith have had a long standing relationship. Over the year, Toby racked up 30 nominations with 7 wins and  13 performances, including performances for 10 consecutive years, and many memorable moments on the CMT MUSIC AWARDS stage over the last TWO DECADES, including two co-hosting gigs.

Back in 2012 with Kristen Bell and 2003 with Pamela Anderson for the then-named “CMT Flameworthy Video Awards,” the year he was the most-awarded artist of the night, taking home three belt buckles, including “Video of the Year” for his video “Courtesy of The Red, White and Blue (The Angry American).”

In addition to this all star tribute, a brand-new one-hour tribute special CMT MUSIC AWARDS CELEBRATES TOBY KEITH (working title) will premiere next Thursday, April 11th (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on CMT, celebrating his most memorable show moments.
