Luke Bryan Returning To Host CMA Awards For The Fourth Time
The country superstar will be joined by Peyton Manning and Lainey Wilson on November 20.
Luke Bryan will once again preside over Country’s Biggest Night. The country superstar will return as host of the Country Music Academy Awards on Nov. 20 alongside co-hosts Peyton Manning and Lainey Wilson. The ceremony will air live on ABC from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. This will be Bryan’s fourth time hosting the CMA Awards, Manning’s third, and Wilson’s first.
Bryan, five-time winner as the CMA’s Entertainer of the Year, revealed this year’s CMA Awards hosts Monday on Good Morning America during the show’s POP NEWS segment. He stopped by GMA as well as GMA 3: What You Need To Know not just to promote the CMAs but to launch his eighth studio album, Mind of a Country Boy, released last week on Capitol Records Nashville. On the show, Bryan performed two songs from the new album, “Love You, Miss You, Mean It” and “Country Song Came On.” While in New York, Bryan is also taping for American Idol and making an appearance this Wednesday night, October 2.

Saturday night, the day after the new album dropped, Bryan wrapped up his 15th Farm Tour with a show in Smithton, Pennsylvania. The Farm Tour continues to attract more than 100,000 people annually. Since the tour’s inception in 2009, Bryan has awarded scholarships to 84 students from farming families who are attending the local college or university near the tour stops. Additionally, Bryan and the tour’s presenting sponsor, Bayer, continue to support local farmers and fight hunger with the #HeresToTheFarmer campaign, which supports Bayer’s mission of Health for All, Hunger for None.
The Farm Tour is part of a diverse range of opportunities to see Bryan in concert, also including his Spring Shows, Crash My Playa, and his Resorts World Las Vegas residency. In celebration of the Farm Tour, more than 30 farms are hosting corn mazes this fall featuring interactive Luke Bryan trivia quizzes. The mazes, which also feature photo opps and music, are designed by The MAiZE Inc.
