NASHVILLE, March 11 (UPI) -- Jason Aldean, Lady Antebellum and Jennifer Hudson have joined the lineup for the "ACM Presents: Brooks & Dunn -- The Last Rodeo" concert in Las Vegas.

Also on the bill for the event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena are Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley, George Strait, Taylor Swift and Sugarland, CBS said Thursday.

Previously announced performers include Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban.

The show is to air May 23 on CBS. It is to be taped April 19, the day following the live broadcast of the 45th annual Academy of Country Music Awards presentation.

"During the tribute concert special, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn of Brooks & Dunn, the best-selling duo in the history of country music, will receive the Academy's Milestone Award in recognition of their 20-year, record-breaking career," the network said in a news release.

Brooks & Dunn announced last August they plan to retire as a duo and embark this summer on a final farewell tour called "The Last Rodeo."
