In the future, CMA Fest will undergo changes due to the upcoming construction of a new stadium for the Tennessee Titans. This will likely result in a different experience for festival attendees.
The festival's main shows have been held at Nissan Stadium for many years, but they will be relocated to a new venue once construction is finished.
The Country Music Association plans to collaborate with the Tennessee Titans annually during CMA Fest and is excited to host country fans in Nashville for the evening concerts at the new stadium.
A new stadium, called the New Nissan Stadium, will be constructed east of the current Nissan Stadium on the East Bank of the Cumberland River. The building process will 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 crossing the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.
The new stadium for the Titans will be completely enclosed and focused on providing fans with an exceptional experience. It will offer sweeping 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, originally known as Fan Fair and starting in 1972 with just 5,000 attendees at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium. It has since grown into one of the largest annual events in country music, drawing tens of thousands of guests from around the world to Music City to enjoy over 250 performances on nine stages.
