Several country legends are returning to the 2023 CMT Music Awards stage!

CMT and CBS announced on Thursday some of the highly anticipated collaborations that will be hitting the stage at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas on April 2, as well as some additional performers who will be lighting up the stage.

Rock band The Black Crowes are set to perform their hit single "She Talks to Angels" alongside CMT performance of the year nominee Darius Rucker. The two announced they would do "CMT Crossroads," which would be taped in Austin as part of CMT Music Awards Week and air sometime in the summer.

The CMT Awards Show will also bring together country superstar Wynonna Judd and "Girl Goin' Nowhere" singer and video of the year nominee Ashley McBryde for a performance that will be featured as part of The Judds: Love Is Alive - The Final Concert event, which will air in the spring.
