Friday, June 9th
Kicking off CMA Fest day two will be Priscilla Block, ready to jam out at the Chevy Riverfront Stage bright and early at 10AM. Her one-of-a-kind set will take place prior to performances from several other budding country stars — Dylan Scott, Parmalee, Ashley Cooke, Kylie Morgan, Hailey Whitters, Jameson Rodgers, Restless Road and Madeline Edwards.
Lucky for all attendees, Priscilla Block’s performance is just the beginning of even more greatness that the day has in store!
Set at Bridgestone Plaza, Brit Taylor will start off the day with 10:15 AM performance at the Maui Jim Reverb Stage, followed by must-see sets from Kyle Clark, Madeline Merlo, Trea Landon, Matt Schuster, Austin Snell, Roan Ash, Jonathan Hutcherson, Stephen Wilson Jr and Meg McRee.
Like Brit Taylor, Jake Worthington will put on the first performance of the day over at his respective stage, the Chevy Vibes Stage, and rising country artists Dylan Schneider, Josh Ross, Georgia Webster, Chapel Hart, Tyler Booth, Catie Offerman, Drew Parker and Mark Wills are sure to keep the good vibes going all day long.
Located at Ascend Park, Ty Herndon, Avery Anna, A Thousand Horses, Uncle Kracker, Frank Ray, Kassi Ashton, Tyler Farr, Love and Theft and Rita Wilson will take the Dr. Pepper Amp Stage from 10:15 AM to 4:15 PM — All nine sets will be nothing short of incredible!
Feeling hungry? Not a problem! At the Hard Rock Stage, Chris Housman, Shelly Fairchild, Adam Mac, Brooke Eden, Angie K, Graham Barham, Lanie Gardner, Southerland and Britnee Kellogg will put on phenomenal performances, concluding with Matt Koziol‘s must-see set at 4:15 PM.
While it is easy to get caught up in all of the fun, don’t forget that you need to check out “The Ultimate Country Music Fan Experience” at Fan Fair X. At the CMA Close-Up Stage, Reba McEntire will be featured as the “Artist of the Day,” while Sophia Scott, Nikita Karmen, O.N.E. The Duo, EJ Vickers, Karissa Ella, Chloe Styler, On The Outside, SACHA, Jillian Cardarelli, Conor Clemmons, Dillon James and Ian Flanigan will take over the the CMA Spotlight Stage from 11:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
While all of the daytime performances are sure to be absolutely incredible, there is much more where that came from…
Once the sun sets in Nashville, the Nissan Stadium Main Stage is the place to be! With performances from some of country music’s biggest artists, you seriously won’t want to miss any of the spectacular sets night two of CMA Fest has to offer.
8:30 PM: After kicking off all of CMA Fest at the Chevy Riverfront Stage the day prior, Lainey Wilson will upgrade to the Nissan Stadium Main Stage for day two. Making her acting debut in Season 5 of Yellowstone, supporting Luke Combs throughout his world tour AND winning tons of awards in between, 2023 has truly been Lainey Wilson’s year. With the release of her most recent project, Bell Bottom Country, at the tail end of 2022, we may just hear smash hits like “Heart Like A Truck” and “Watermelon Moonshine” during her CMA Fest set — It is sure to be yet another incredible performance from the bell bottom queen!
9:05 PM: Members of “CoJo Nation” were thrilled to see the one and only Cody Johnson on this year’s CMA Fest setlist. The country crooner will continue the night strong, serving as the second performer to take the Nissan Stadium Main Stage, just moments after Lainey Wilson. With his smash hit “’Til You Can’t” ruling country radio at the moment, fans seriously can’t wait to hear it live, as well as any other songs CoJo plans to perform within his highly-anticipated set.
9:50 PM: To follow Cody Johnson’s stellar performance, Miranda Lambert will take over the Nissan Stadium Main Stage for a must-see set. After her one-of-a-kind rendition of “Carousel” at this year’s ACM Awards, we have been anxiously awaiting another live performance from the country legend, and we are thrilled that it will finally arrive on day two of CMA Fest.
10:30 PM: Keith Urban is no stranger to the CMA Fest stage, and he is sure to put on one heck of a show! His performance will come exactly one week prior to beginning his Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood, which will take place from June 16th to July 1st. With chart-topping tracks like “Blue Ain’t Your Color” and “The Fighter,” we can’t wait to see Keith Urban take over both the Nissan Stadium Main Stage AND Sin City.
11:20 PM: We seriously could not imagine a better artist to finish out the night two of CMA Fest than the one and only HARDY. With the release of the mockingbird & THE CROW earlier this year, the country superstar has TONS of new tracks that we might just hear live at the Nissan Stadium Main Stage, including “wait in the truck” featuring Lainey Wilson, “red” featuring Morgan Wallen, “SOLD OUT,” “TRUCK BED” and more. HARDY is known to be quite the performer, and we have no doubt that the crowd will be up on their feet by the end of his set.
While Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban and HARDY will be tearing up the Nissan Stadium Main Stage all night long, Hailey Whitters and Dalton Dover will be putting on a show of their very own. The rising country stars are set to perform at 8:55 PM and 9:40 PM outside at the Nissan Stadium Platform Stage, ending the second day of CMA Fest with a bang.
Aside from the performances both inside AND outside of the iconic Nissan Stadium, the Ascend Amphitheater will return to CMA Fest for just one night only. At this additional stage, The Cadillac Three will put on a headlining performance, and Boy Named Banjo, Elvie Shane, Randy Rogers Band, and Tenille Townes will take the stage beforehand for their respective sets.
Closing out the night with performances that are nothing short of spectacular, day two of CMA Fest will be hard to beat! Day three will have some big shoes to fill, and with its legendary lineup, we already know it will live up to our high expectations.
