CMT today (4/27) announced “CMT Celebrates Our Heroes: An Artists of the Year Special,” a tribute to recognize the most vital and inspirational Americans on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“CMT Celebrates Our Heroes” will feature one-of-a-kind tributes, callouts and performances from Brothers Osborne, Florida Georgia Line, Kelsea Ballerini, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett and more to be announced, all filmed directly from their own homes and virtually produced by CMT.

The two-hour special will premiere Wednesday, June 3 at 8 PM ET/PT on CMT.
