In the coming years, CMA Fest will undergo significant changes due to the upcoming construction of a new stadium for the Tennessee Titans. This means that the festival will not remain the same as it currently is.
After being the venue for the festival's main shows for a number of years, the current 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 every year during the CMA Fest. They are excited about the prospect of country music fans coming to Nashville for the nightly concerts held in the newly built stadium.
The upcoming stadium, appropriately called the New Nissan Stadium, is going to be constructed on the eastern side of the existing Nissan Stadium, situated along the East Bank of the Cumberland River. The construction is planned to commence within this year, and the stadium is expected to open its doors to the public in 2027.
Fans of country music will continue to have the option to reach the New Nissan Stadium in downtown Nashville by utilizing the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.
The upcoming location for the Titans will be a closed-off facility that is specifically designed to provide an enhanced fan experience. It will offer breathtaking views of Nashville, a roof made of translucent material, and a generous 12,000 square feet of community space that can be utilized throughout the year.
CMA Fest, originally known as Fan Fair, is the ultimate event for country music enthusiasts. It first took place in 1972 at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium with only 5,000 fans in attendance. Over the years, it has grown into one of the largest annual gatherings in country music, attracting tens of thousands of guests from around the world. This festival offers a chance to witness over 250 performances by various artists on nine separate stages in Music City.
