Updated May 18, 2022
CMA Fest is back in 2022! The Country Music Association just announced the initial lineup. CMA Fest is returning to downtown Nashville Thursday through Sunday, June 9-12 following a two-year postponement due to the pandemic.
Hundreds of Country Music artists are slated to perform on multiple stages across downtown Nashville. Fans can access a limited number of four-day passes, plus newly announced single night tickets, for the Nissan Stadium nightly concerts at CMAfest.com or through the CMA Box Office at 1-800-CMA-FEST.
CMA Fest is uniquely programmed with artists donating their time so a portion of ticket proceeds can be invested in high-quality music education programs throughout the U.S. via the CMA Foundation.
