Here Are All the Performers & Presenters for the 2025 GMA Dove Awards: Full List

Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll will perform together at the 2026 GMA Dove Awards, which will be taped at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Tuesday (Oct. 7). Their collab “Hard Fought Hallelujah” cracked the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May. The song — which the two artists cowrote with Steven Furtick, Chris Brown and Benjamin William Hastings — is nominated for song of the year. Lake is this year’s leading Dove Awards nominee, with nine nods.

Four of the six nominees for artist of the year – Lake, CeCe Winans,  Josiah Queen and Lauren Daigle – are set to perform on the show. Of this year’s artist of the year nominees, only Forrest Frank and Phil Wickham have not been announced as performers.

The show will also feature a Special Opry 100 performance from Opry members Lady A, Steven Curtis Chapman and Vince Gill, and a separate multi-artist Latin performance from Israel & New Breed and Unified Sound, whose “Coritos de Fuego” is nominated for Spanish language recorded song of the year. In the segment, they will be joined by Aaron Moses, Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, Alex Campos, Christine D’Clario, Ingrid Rosario, Janina Rosado, Josh and Waleska Morales from Miel San Marcos, Lucia Parker and Nate Diaz.

The show will air on TBN and stream on the TBN+ app on Friday, Oct. 10, at 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET. The show will be simulcast on SiriusXM The Message. An encore presentation will air on TBN and the TBN+ app Friday, Oct. 17, at 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET.
