In the near future, CMA Fest will undergo significant changes due to the upcoming construction of a new stadium for the Tennessee Titans.
After hosting the festival's main shows for many years, the current Nissan Stadium will be replaced by a new venue where the shows will take place once it is finished.
According to the Country Music Association, they intend to maintain their collaboration with the Tennessee Titans every year during the CMA Fest. They are excited about hosting country music fans in Nashville for the evening concerts held in the new stadium.
The upcoming stadium, appropriately called the New Nissan Stadium, is planned to be constructed on the eastern side of the existing Nissan Stadium, situated along the East Bank of the Cumberland River. The construction is expected to commence in the current year, and the stadium is projected to open in 2027.
Fans of country music can still reach the New Nissan Stadium from downtown Nashville by using the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.
The new stadium for the Titans will be different from their current home. It will be an indoor facility designed to provide a better experience for fans, featuring wide views of Nashville, a see-through roof, and a community area of 12,000 square feet that can be utilized throughout the year.
CMA Fest, originally known as Fan Fair, is a remarkable event for country music enthusiasts. It first took place in 1972 at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium, with only 5,000 fans attending. Over the years, it has evolved into one of the largest annual gatherings in country music, attracting tens of thousands of visitors from around the world. This festival offers the opportunity to witness over 250 performances by various artists on nine different stages in Music City.
