Luke Bryan, Alan Jackson, Lainey Wilson, Trisha Yearwood, Walt Aldridge, Tony Brown and Shannon Sanders will be celebrated during the 17th Academy of Country Music Honors. The event will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 21 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and will be hosted by four-time ACM Award winner Carly Pearce, who is returning for the fourth straight year, and reigning ACM song of the year winner Jordan Davis.

“I’m thrilled to return to host ACM Honors for the fourth year in a row,” Pearce said in a statement. “It’s always an unforgettable night that I look forward to, and I’m excited to have Jordan joining me this year!”

Davis, who won song of the year for co-writing “Next Thing You Know” with Josh Osborne, Chase McGill and Greylan James, added, “I’ve performed at ACM Honors for the past two years and love that the show celebrates the behind-the-scenes titans in this industry, as well as so many of the artists I’ve looked up to for years.”

Additionally, previously announced artist-songwriter of the year winner Chris Stapleton and songwriter of the year Jessie Jo Dillon will be feted at ACM Honors, as will Studio Recording Award and Industry Award winners, which were announced yesterday. Tyler Hubbard, an 11-time ACM Award winner, will present the ACM Studio Recording and Industry Awards portion of ACM Honors.
