Get your boots polished and your festival fits ready, Country fans: CMA Fest presented by SoFi is officially returning to take over Downtown Nashville from June 4–7, 2026!
Known as the world’s longest-running country music festival, Music City is about to become the epicenter of all things Country Music for four unforgettable days. The Country Music Association also just dropped the massive first wave of nightly headliners for Nissan Stadium, and to say we are counting down the days is a total understatement.
Throughout the weekend, fans can look forward to powerhouse performances at Nissan Stadium from superstar staples like Luke Bryan, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Jordan Davis, and Cody Johnson, along with fan-favorite hitmakers Carly Pearce, HARDY, Riley Green, Russell Dickerson, and Gretchen Wilson.
Sharing the stadium spotlight are some of the biggest breakout names dominating the charts, including Bailey Zimmerman, Shaboozey, Ella Langley, Tucker Wetmore, The Red Clay Strays, Deana Carter, and Zach Top. To make the nights even bigger, The Band Perry and Stephen Wilson Jr. are set to bring high-energy mid-field performances right to the heart of the stadium.
And this is just the beginning, as CMA has promised even more Nissan Stadium performers, stage openers, and surprise guest moments will be revealed in the coming weeks.
If you want in on the ultimate CMA Fest experience, Four-Night Stadium Passes are officially ON SALE NOW over at CMAfest.com/tickets. One pass gets you four straight nights of stadium shows, jaw-dropping surprise collaborations, and electric Music City vibes.
Not planning on sitting inside the stadium all day? No worries! Downtown Nashville will feature hundreds of daytime performances across multiple stages, fan experiences, and pop-up events all week long, and more details on who will be there will be shared at a later date. Additionally, CMA Fest will once again be filmed live to air as a nationwide network television special on ABC and Hulu later this summer.
