The upcoming construction of a new stadium for the Tennessee Titans means that CMA Fest will undergo significant changes in the near future. The event will not be the same as it has been in the past due to this development.
The festival's main shows have been held at Nissan Stadium for a while, but they will be moved to a new venue once construction is finished.
The Country Music Association is planning to collaborate with the Tennessee Titans every year during CMA Fest. They are excited to invite country music fans to Nashville for the evening concerts at the new stadium.
A new stadium, called the New Nissan Stadium, will be constructed on the East Bank of the Cumberland River, located east of the current Nissan Stadium. Construction is expected to start this year and the stadium is projected to open in 2027.
Fans of country music can still get to the New Nissan Stadium from downtown Nashville by using the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.
The new stadium for the Titans will be enclosed and focused on providing fans with an exceptional experience. It will offer panoramic views of Nashville, a clear roof, and 12,000 square feet of community space that can be utilized throughout the year.
CMA Fest, also known as the "Ultimate Country Music Fan Experience," started in 1972 as Fan Fair. The event originally had 5,000 fans at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium and has since grown into one of the largest annual events in country music. Each year, tens of thousands of fans from around the world come to Music City to watch over 250 performances on nine different stages.
The CMA Fest 2024 will take place from June 6-9 in the heart of Nashville.
