In the near future, CMA Fest will undergo significant changes due to the upcoming construction of a new stadium for the Tennessee Titans.
After being the venue 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 ongoing plans to collaborate with the Tennessee Titans annually during CMA Fest. They are excited about hosting country music fans for the nightly concerts in the newly built stadium in Nashville.
The upcoming stadium, appropriately called the New Nissan Stadium, will be constructed on the eastern side of the existing Nissan Stadium, located along the East Bank of the Cumberland River. The building process is planned to commence this year, and it is expected to be ready for its grand opening in 2027.
Fans of country music can still reach the New Nissan Stadium from downtown Nashville by utilizing the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.
In contrast to the Titans' present stadium, the upcoming venue will be an enclosed establishment specifically designed to enhance the fan experience. It will offer breathtaking views of Nashville, feature a see-through roof, and include a generous 12,000 square feet of community space that can be utilized throughout the year.
CMA Fest, also known as Fan Fair, is an incredible event for country music enthusiasts. It first took place in 1972 with only 5,000 fans attending at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium. Over the years, it has grown into one of the largest country music events in the world, attracting tens of thousands of fans from around the globe. The festival features over 250 performances by various artists on nine different stages in the vibrant city of Nashville.
