As the countdown to CMA Fest draws nearer, the Country Music Association (CMA) has unveiled a lineup packed with even more performances and appearances set to electrify downtown Nashville from Thursday to Sunday, June 6 – 9. These additions join the already extensive roster of artists announced earlier, promising an unforgettable festival experience.
At Nissan Stadium, the nightly concerts will kick off with performances by country icons Terri Clark, Craig Morgan, Josh Turner, and Gretchen Wilson. Joining them on the main stage will be the chart-topping band Old Dominion. Adding to the excitement, fans can catch special performances inside the stadium from Jackson Dean, Shaboozey, and Brittney Spencer, while the Platform Stage will showcase talents like Tanner Adell, Chapel Hart, and Dasha, among others. Reyna Roberts will set the stage Thursday night with a rendition of the national anthem.
A highlight returning for its second year is the appearance of the Tennessee State University marching band, The Aristocrat of Bands, marching across the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge on Thursday morning. Across the festival footprint, fans can expect stellar acts like Sophia Scott, Julia Cole, Willie Jones, Sister Hazel, and more gracing various stages throughout the event.
Inside Fan Fair X, Gretchen Wilson will engage in a Q&A session on the CMA Close Up Stage to commemorate the 20th anniversary of her hit single ‘Redneck Woman.’ Meanwhile, the Spotlight Stage will host a writer’s round featuring talented artists such as Alyssia Dominguez and David Unlayao. Additionally, the Canadian Country Music Association will present their own writer’s round with artists like Robert Adam and Trudy.
For those still looking to secure their spot at CMA Fest, limited ticket options are available. Whether it’s a Four-Night Stadium Pass or single night tickets for Nissan Stadium concerts, there’s something for everyone. Fan Fair X tickets for single days or all four days, as well as Riverside Retreat passes offering exclusive access to the Chevy Riverfront Stage, are also up for grabs. While some nights at Ascend Amphitheater are sold out, there are still opportunities to catch the action on Thursday night.
As with previous years, the artists performing at CMA Fest generously donate their time, with proceeds benefiting music education initiatives across the United States through the CMA Foundation.
