The countdown is on for America's Got Talent's live shows.
PEOPLE can exclusively reveal that 36 acts will be performing at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles for host Terry Crews and judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum during the six weeks of live shows, beginning Tuesday.
Along with America's vote, the contestants — including singers, dancers, comedians, magicians and more — will be competing for the chance to win $1 million and the opportunity to perform at America's Got Talent Las Vegas LIVE, which debuts at Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on Nov. 4.
For the first time ever, audiences will have the chance to choose which act will take the final slot in the season 16 live shows with AGT: America's Wildcard — a one-hour special hitting Peacock on Tuesday.

During the special, hosted by Crews, 53, "five acts who the judges could not decide on will take the stage and perform one more time," according to a release from NBC.
Fans can vote for their favorite act on Twitter (from Tuesday, Aug. 10 at 7 p.m. ET through Friday, Aug. 13 at 7 a.m. ET) and the winner will go on to perform during the Aug. 24 live show.
The series will also see several guest performances from AGT alums during the Wednesday results shows.
