Fresh off of the announcement that Little Big Town, Kacey Musgraves and Midland will embark on a 26-date Breakers Tour in 2018, the eight artists stopped by the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night (Sept. 20) to perform a medley of hits.

Midland kicked things off by performing their 2017 debut single, “Drinkin’ Problem,” and Kacey Musgraves followed with her 2012 Top 10 hit, “Merry Go ’Round.”

To close the gig, Little Big Town joined Kacey and Midland onstage for a rockin’ rendition of “Don’t Bring Me Down,” a tune Electric Light Orchestra scored a hit with in 1979.

Watch the performance below.
