The upcoming construction of a new stadium for the Tennessee Titans means that the current format of CMA Fest may change in the coming years.
The main shows of the festival have been held at Nissan Stadium for many years, but they will be moved to a new venue once it is finished.
The Country Music Association stated that they will continue collaborating with the Tennessee Titans annually during CMA Fest. They are excited to host country music fans in 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. Building is planned to start this year, and the stadium is expected 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 covered and focused on providing fans with an exceptional experience. It will offer scenic views of Nashville, a see-through roof, and a large community area that can be utilized throughout the year.
CMA Fest is a popular event for country music fans that first started in 1972 as Fan Fair. Originally a gathering of 5,000 fans at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium, it has grown into one of the largest annual events in country music. Every year, thousands of guests from all over the world come to Music City to watch over 250 performances on nine stages.
