Billy Ray Cyrus and daughter Miley will host and perform at the 2008 CMT Music Awards.

The seventh annual awards show will air live April 14 on CMT from Belmont University’s Curb Event Center in Nashville. Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Sugarland, Taylor Swift and Toby Keith will also be among the performers.

“Miley and I are so excited to be hosting the CMT Music Awards,” Cyrus said Tuesday in a statement. “We know it will be a fun-filled night with a lot of great music performances.”

Cyrus, 46, made it big on the country and pop charts in 1992 with his hit “Achy Breaky Heart.” These days, he plays Miley’s father on the 15-year-old actress-singer’s “Hannah Montana” TV show.

“Hannah Montana” is filmed in Los Angeles, but the family has a home near Nashville. The Disney Channel recently announced that parts of Miley’s upcoming movie will be filmed in Tennessee.

Justin Timberlake will induct Madonna into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The “Sexyback” singer has been working with the Material Mom on her upcoming album, expected to be released this year.

Madonna will be among those honored March 10 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan. Other inductees include Leonard Cohen, John Mellencamp, The Dave Clark Five, The Ventures and Little Walter.
