The upcoming construction of a new stadium for the Tennessee Titans means that CMA Fest will undergo significant changes in the near future.
After being the location for the festival's main shows for many years, the current Nissan Stadium will no longer host them once the new venue is finished.
According to the Country Music Association, they have intentions to collaborate with the Tennessee Titans every year during CMA Fest. They are excited about the upcoming nightly concerts in the new stadium and are eagerly anticipating the arrival of country fans in Nashville.
A brand new stadium, appropriately called the New Nissan Stadium, is going to be constructed on the eastern side of the existing Nissan Stadium, located along the East Bank of the Cumberland River. The construction is planned to commence this year, and the stadium is expected to be ready for opening in 2027.
Fans of country music can still use the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge to reach the New Nissan Stadium from downtown Nashville.
In contrast to the Titans' present stadium, the upcoming venue will be an indoor facility specifically designed to provide an enhanced experience for fans. It will offer breathtaking views of Nashville, a roof made of translucent material, and a community area spanning 12,000 square feet, which will be accessible throughout the year.
CMA Fest is an extraordinary event for country music fans, originally known as Fan Fair and established in 1972. What initially began with a modest gathering of 5,000 fans at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium has now evolved into one of the largest annual events in the country music industry. Every year, tens of thousands of attendees from around the world come together in Music City to enjoy performances from over 250 artists across nine different stages.
