In the near future, CMA Fest will undergo significant changes due to the upcoming construction of a new stadium for the Tennessee Titans.
Once the new venue is finished, the festival's main shows will no longer take place at the current Nissan Stadium where they have been held for many years.
The Country Music Association states that they have ongoing plans to collaborate with the Tennessee Titans every year during CMA Fest. They are excited about hosting country music fans in Nashville for the nightly concerts at the new stadium.
A brand new stadium, appropriately called the New Nissan Stadium, is planned to be constructed on the eastern side of the existing Nissan Stadium, located along the East Bank of the Cumberland River. The construction is expected to start in the current year and the stadium is anticipated to open its doors in 2027.
Fans of country music will still have the option to reach the New Nissan Stadium in downtown Nashville by utilizing the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.
The new venue for the Titans will be a closed facility designed specifically to enhance the fan experience. It will have expansive views of Nashville, a roof that allows natural light to filter through, and a community space spanning 12,000 square feet that can be utilized throughout the year.
CMA Fest, originally known as Fan Fair, has evolved from a small gathering of 5,000 fans at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium in 1972 to become the ultimate experience for country music enthusiasts. Today, this event has grown into one of the largest annual gatherings in country music, attracting tens of thousands of guests from around the world. With over 250 acts performing on nine stages, people flock to Music City to be part of this incredible event.
The upcoming CMA Fest 2024 has been planned to take place from June 6th to June
