Green Day, Mariah Carey and Brad Paisley perform for the AMAs 50th anniversary special

Stray Kids, Raye, Kane Brown, Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan and more are also scheduled for the October 6th special

Green Day, Mariah Carey, Brad Paisley, Raye and Stray Kids are among the artists set to take the stage to help the American Music Awards celebrate its 50th anniversary next month.

Gladys Knight, Kane Brown, Chaka Khan and Jennifer Hudson are also among the first cast members of the American Music Awards 50th anniversary special. Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Lopez, Jimmy Kimmel and Gloria Estefan are also scheduled to appear in the live special Oct. 6 on CBS.

The AMAs also shared some details about what some of the artists have in store, with performances that include both new takes on classic songs and current singles. Paisley, for example, will both pay homage to the late Charley Pride and perform his new single.

Knight, who performed at the first AMAs in 1974, will perform an “encore” of “Midnight Train to Georgia,” while Khan will sing her anthem “I’m Every Woman.” Carey will perform a medley of her own hits, Stray Kids will stage “a special performance honoring the legacy of boy bands at the American Music Awards,” and Raye will tackle James Brown’s “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World.”

Additionally, Hudson will honor Whitney Houston and Brown will perform a medley of his hits.

While the AMAs have put together an all-star 50th anniversary special, the awards show itself — which hasn’t aired since 2022 — won’t return to air until May 2025.
