One of the most anticipated events of the summer is set to light up Music City once again. CMA Fest presented by SoFi takes over downtown Nashville June 4–7, bringing fans from around the world together for four days of nonstop Country Music.
Hosted by the Country Music Association, the annual celebration will once again culminate each evening inside Nissan Stadium, where many of the genre’s biggest names and rising stars will take the stage. SoFi returns as the festival’s presenting sponsor, continuing its multi-year role as the official bank and financial services partner of CMA Fest.

This year’s nightly stadium lineup features an all-star roster including Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, Cody Johnson, Carly Pearce, Bailey Zimmerman, Riley Green, Jordan Davis, HARDY, Ella Langley, Gretchen Wilson, Deana Carter, The Red Clay Strays, Russell Dickerson, Shaboozey, Tim McGraw, Tucker Wetmore and Zach Top.
Mid-field performances inside the stadium will spotlight The Band Perry and Stephen Wilson Jr..
More Nissan Stadium artists, Platform Stage performers, openers and the national anthem performer will be announced in the coming weeks, along with additional surprise moments.
Four-Night Stadium Passes Available Now
Fans can lock in their spot at Nissan Stadium with Four-Night Stadium Passes, available now. The pass grants entry to four consecutive nights of headline performances, special collaborations and the high-energy atmosphere that defines CMA Fest.
While the stadium shows anchor each evening, the festival experience stretches across downtown Nashville with hundreds of performances on multiple stages, fan activations and unique experiences throughout the city. Additional daytime stage performers and activities will be revealed soon.
Supporting Music Education Nationwide
CMA Fest continues to reflect the Country Music community’s commitment to giving back. Through artist participation and fan support, a portion of ticket proceeds benefits the CMA Foundation and its music education initiatives across the country.
SoFi also returns as the festival and broadcast presenting sponsor, encouraging fans to explore its premium member benefits during the event and through its CMA Fest partnership.
