The Future of CMA Fest: How the New Nissan Stadium Will Change the Ultimate Country Music Fan Experience

  • by

The future of CMA Fest will undergo significant changes due to the upcoming construction of a new stadium for the Tennessee Titans.

After being the location for the festival's main shows for multiple years, Nissan Stadium will no longer host them once the new venue is finished.

The Country Music Association has stated that they have ongoing plans to collaborate with the Tennessee Titans annually during CMA Fest. They are excited about hosting country music fans for the nightly concerts at the new stadium in Nashville.

A brand new stadium, appropriately called the New Nissan Stadium, is going to be constructed on the eastern side of the current Nissan Stadium, located along the East Bank of the Cumberland River. The construction is planned to commence this year, and it is expected to be completed and ready for opening in 2027.

People who enjoy country music will still have the option to reach the New Nissan Stadium in downtown Nashville by using the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.

In contrast to the Titans' present stadium, the upcoming location will be an indoor facility specifically designed to enhance the fan experience. It will offer stunning views of Nashville, a roof made of translucent material, and a spacious community area spanning 12,000 square feet, available for year-round use.

CMA Fest is a remarkable event for country music enthusiasts, originally known as Fan Fair and established in 1972. It began with a modest gathering of 5,000 fans at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium but has since evolved into one of the largest and most significant country music events of the year. People from around the world travel to Music City to witness over 250 performances by various artists across nine different stages.

The CMA Fest 2024 has been planned to take place from June 6th to June 9
