The star-studded bill for Sunday’s 51st Annual Academy Awards ceremony features Little Big Town and Florida Georgia Line.
Both acts recently took the stage to rehearse their planned performances.
Little Big Town will reportedly be performing with Trombone Shorty, and the rehearsal ensemble indeed suggests a jazzy performance. Staging for the FGL number, meanwhile, involves trees and a smoke machine.
CBS’ ACM Awards broadcast airs at 8PM ET. In advance of the show, CBS shared photos from the rehearsals.
