Eric Church and Toby Keith are among the latest artists added to the lineup of the 49th annual Academy of Country Awards set for April 6.

Lady Antebellum will also take the stage with Stevie Nicks at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas next month.

Co-hosted by Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton, the ACMs will also feature previously announced performers Bryan and Shelton, along with Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, George Strait, Keith Urban, Florida Georgia Line and The Band Perry. More acts and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks.

Miranda Lambert and Tim McGraw are the top nominees for this year's ACMs, with seven bids each. Keith Urban is up for six awards, and Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton, Kacey Musgraves and Lee Brice are next with five apiece. Florida Georgia Line and Lady Antebellum have four nods.

Reigning new artist and new duo of the year winners Florida Georgia Line will host the 4th annual ACM Fan Jam, set to take place at Mandalay Bay Events Center also on April 6. Other performers will be announced for the concert, too. To keep the music flowing, the Academy announced it will tape an all-star concert television special on April 7 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, which will air at a later date. Proceeds will benefit ACM Lifting Lives.

The ACM Awards will air April 6 starting at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
