The 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship is going country and it will be here before we know it. Jon Pardi, Jake Owen, and Megan Moroney are among the star-studded lineup of performers who have been added to the mix for the celebrations next year.

Pardi, Owen, and Moroney will each perform on Sunday, January 7 at the AT&T Playoff Playlist Live! stage at Shell Energy Stadium while Kidz Bop kicks things off on Friday, January 5, followed by Jack Harlow and Latto on Saturday, January 6.

Pardi posted to X, "Excited to play during @CFBPlayoff national championship weekend in Houston! See y’all at the FREE show 1/7 at #ATTPlayoffPlaylist Live! at @ShellEnergyStdm."

"Don't miss my FREE show during @CFBPlayoff national championship weekend in Houston! Jan. 7 at #ATTPlayoffPlaylist Live! at @ShellEnergyStadium," shared Owen on X

"My phone and the neon's buzzing… We're going to put @_megmoroney on pedestal high for #ATTPlayoffPlaylist Live! on Sunday, January 7 at Houston’s @ShellEnergyStdm," College Football Playoff posted to X. 

Between having the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry, Pardi, multi-platinum artist-songwriter, Owen, and CMA Awards nominee for New Artist of the Year and Song of the Year, Moroney, fans are in for a real treat leading up to the College Football National Championship game.

Fans are asked to pre-register for the concert tickets in hopes of receiving a wristband to attend the show of their choice. The wristband will be the only thing to serve as a ticket to guarantee entry into the concert. You can find out more information on the ticket process here.

The 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship will air live on ESPN on Monday, January 8 at 7:30 p.m. ET / 6:30 p.m. CT.

Megan Moroney's debut radio single "Tennesee Orange" has become her first hit, now sitting in the Top ten on the country charts this week and is moving north. The song's video even won Megan her first CMT Music Award in April (4/2) in the "Breakthrough Female Artist category," an award that Taylor Swift won back in 2007 for her video, "Tim McGraw." Moroney was thrilled with her first honor, calling winning the award surreal.

On May 5, Megan's debut album, Lucky, was released, featuring "Tennesee Orange." Moroney told us in a recent interview, "I've wanted to release my debut album since I moved to town. Now that it's done, I'm just so proud of the songs. I've been working on it for a lot longer than people think I have been."

One song that stands out in the new work is a song she co-wrote called "I'm Not Pretty." Megan shared with us how the song came about, "I kind of tell the story of 'I'm Not Pretty' in the song. It was 2 am, and one of my ex-boyfriend's new girlfriends accidentally liked one of my photos from 2016 in Panama City. It's still on my Instagram. You can go look for it."

She added, "I think I just took a situation that had happened and that I thought I was like a little bit funny, and I turned it into a song, and it's light-hearted and not supposed to be too serious, but that's a funny one. "

As Moroney's star starts to rise in country music, we take a look at the last couple of years she has enjoyed in the spotlight of Nashville and beyond.
