The 2022 ACM Awards are amping up the star power!

Country stars Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett will hit the stage alongside Dolly Parton as co-hosts of the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards on March 7, PEOPLE can exclusively announce.

Allen, 36, and Barrett, 21, each have several ACM nominations under their belt, and each are the reigning new artist of the year in their respective categories.

"The Academy has a long history of highlighting the biggest stars in Country Music alongside today's rising stars, and this year that will spotlight even further," Damon Whiteside, CEO of the Academy of Country Music, said in a statement. "Reigning ACM New Male Artist of the Year winner Jimmie Allen and reigning ACM New Female Artist of the Year Gabby Barrett will co-host the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards side-by-side with Dolly Parton, pairing two of today's most exciting new artists in the genre with one of the world's most beloved music icons."

Both Allen and Barrett have enjoyed breakout success in recent years, and Allen — who competed on the most recent season of Dancing with the Stars — is currently up for best new artist at the upcoming Grammy Awards (making him the only country artist nominated in an all-genre category). He picked up the new artist of the year prize at November's CMA Awards.

Barrett, meanwhile, whose debut single "I Hope" topped the Billboard Hot Country chart for a record-breaking 27 weeks, was the most-nominated female country artist at the 2021 American Music Awards, and will soon be honored at the 2022 Billboard Women in Music Awards.
