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 performances for many years, the current Nissan Stadium will no longer be the venue for these shows once the new venue is finished.
According to the Country Music Association, they have future plans to collaborate with the Tennessee Titans annually during CMA Fest. They are excited about the upcoming concerts that will take place in the new stadium and are eager to welcome country music fans to Nashville.
A brand new stadium, appropriately called the New Nissan Stadium, will be constructed on the eastern side of the current Nissan Stadium, situated 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 will still have the opportunity to reach the New Nissan Stadium in downtown Nashville by utilizing the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.
The upcoming stadium for the Titans will be a closed facility that is specifically designed to enhance the experience for fans. It will offer breathtaking views of Nashville, have a transparent roof, and include a community space spanning 12,000 square feet which can be utilized throughout the year.
CMA Fest, previously known as Fan Fair, is an incredible event for country music fans. It first took place in 1972 with only 5,000 attendees at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium. Since then, it has grown into one of the largest annual gatherings in country music. People from all over the world come to Music City to witness over 250 performances by various artists on nine different stages.
The upcoming CMA Fest in 2024 will take place from June 6th to June 9th
