The ACM Awards have announced the first round of performers set for the May 17 show, with Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson and Riley Green leading the initial charge.

All three performers are on a hot streak, chart-wise and/or awards-wise. Wilson is the ACMs’ reigning entertainer of the year, and she will be bringing the show the live premiere of her new single, “Can’t Sit Still,” which is included in her forthcoming Netflix documentary. Johnson won song of the year at the ACMs last year and will sing a thus-far undisclosed number. Green will perform his hit “Change My Mind.”
