Dating back to the early 1970s, The CMA Fest, originally called the Fan Fair, looked to create a haven for country music fans. Offering not just performances from some of the top names in country music, the festival also gave fans the chance to meet some of their favorite artists. Growing over the years, the event now welcomed hundreds of artists and thousands of fans to Nashville. And with organizers announcing the lineup for this year, it seemed that the CMA Fest included Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, and many more.

Becoming one of the biggest festivals in country music, the CMA Fest needed more than one stage to fit all the performances. Completely taking over Nashville, the festival announced that taking the main stage at the Nissan Stadium would be Aldean, Urban, Dierks Bentley, and even Kelsea Ballerini.
Just the first group to be announced, the CMA Fest also revealed that the four-day event would include Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Rascal Flatts, Brooks & Dunn, Darius Rucker, Cody Johnson, Riley Green, Jordan Davis, Parker McCollum, Megan Moroney, Shaboozey, Ella Langley, Zach Top, Ashley McBryde, and Bailey Zimmerman.

As for the other stages offered during the CMA Fest, acts like Maddie & Tae, Tucker Wetmore, War and Treaty, and Gabby Barrett prepared to take over the Riverfront Stage. Moving to the Dr. Pepper Amp Stage in Ascend Park, Rodney Atkins, Blanco Brown, and Danielle Bradbery will entertain fans. And lastly, the Chevy Vibes Stage at the Walk of Fame Park will highlight Pam Tillis, Shenandoah, and Mickey Guyton.
Again, just a sample of the stars appearing at the 2025 CMA Fest, organizers are expected to release more names in the coming weeks. Running from June 5th to June 8th, tickets are on sale now with a Four-Night Stadium Pass costing anywhere from $300 to over $1000. Wanting to make the event available to all fans of country music, the 2025 CMA Fest also offered single-night passes. But for those willing to pay the price, the premium package included top seating, expedited entry, and even hospitality services.
