CMA Fest Returns For Its 54th Year
Country music’s longest-running music festival, CMA Fest, will return to downtown Nashville from June 4-7, 2026.
The event began as “Fan Fest” in 1972 and was created to allow country music fans to connect with their favorite artists live and in person. Only 5,000 guests attended the inaugural year, but that number has since grown to over 100,000.
The four-day festival is unlike any other in the nation. Hosted in Music City, all daytime performances across multiple stages are free to attend, with optional upgrades available for purchase.
Each evening, headline performances take place at Nissan Stadium in a ticketed show featuring the biggest names in country music. Tickets are already on sale for CMA Fest, with a variety of options from single-day to full-weekend experiences.
