CMA Fest 2025 has captured attention once again, unveiling an eagerly anticipated lineup featuring more than 200 performers. This iconic festival, scheduled from June 5-8, is set to transform Nashville into a vibrant hub for country music enthusiasts. With its origins dating back to 1972 as “Fan Fair,” CMA Fest has grown into one of the most celebrated music festivals in the world, drawing fans and artists alike to the heart of Tennessee. This year's lineup is a testament to the festival's commitment to showcasing both legendary icons and rising stars, ensuring a diverse array of performances throughout the four-day event.

Headlining the festival at Nissan Stadium are some of country music's biggest names, including Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Kelsea Ballerini, Keith Urban, and Brooks & Dunn. These artists, who hold a remarkable tally of more than 200 chart-topping singles combined, will be joined by other acclaimed performers such as Darius Rucker, Cody Johnson, and Rascal Flatts. Fans can look forward to a blend of traditional country melodies and modern chart-toppers, all under one roof at this storied venue.

In addition to the mainstage acts, the festival will feature performances across nine other stages spread throughout Nashville. From the Chevy Riverfront Stage, which has gained a reputation for afternoon breakout performances, to the Dr. Pepper Amp Stage at Ascend Park, attendees will be treated to a wide variety of musical styles. Up-and-coming artists and established stars will grace these stages, offering an inclusive experience that caters to diverse musical tastes. Among the artists set to perform on these stages are Gabby Barrett, Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum, and Ella Langley, ensuring that there will be no shortage of entertainment for festival-goers.

Beyond the music, CMA Fest offers fans an immersive experience with options for meet-and-greets, exclusive merchandise, and various fan interactions at Music City Center's Fan Fair X. Ticketing options reflect the festival’s inclusivity, with choices ranging from single-night passes to comprehensive four-night packages for die-hard fans. For those seeking an elevated experience, VIP packages are available, granting premium seating, backstage access, and exclusive amenities. As always, a portion of the proceeds will benefit the CMA Foundation, which supports music education programs across the United States.

The global reach of CMA Fest continues to grow, welcoming attendees from all 50 states and nearly 50 countries. This international appeal underscores the universal resonance of country music and its ability to bring together diverse audiences under one harmonious banner. The festival is also set to be filmed for a special airing later in the summer on ABC and Hulu, bringing the Nashville experience to those who are unable to attend in person. This broadcast extends the festival's impact, allowing fans worldwide to enjoy the performances from the comfort of their homes.

Partnering for the first time with SoFi as its official bank and financial services partner, CMA Fest continues to innovate and enhance the attendee experience. Whether it's the dynamic performances, the vibrant atmosphere of downtown Nashville, or the opportunity to see their favorite artists up close, CMA Fest 2025 promises to be an unforgettable celebration of country music. For fans and artists alike, this event is more than just a festival; it's a testament to the enduring power and popularity of country music in an ever-evolving musical landscape.
