The Future of CMA Fest: How the New Nissan Stadium Will Change the Ultimate Country Music Fan Experience

  • by

In the future, CMA Fest will undergo significant changes due to the upcoming construction of a new stadium for the Tennessee Titans.

After being the host of the festival's main performances for many years, the current Nissan Stadium will no longer be used for these shows once the new venue is finished.

The Country Music Association has stated that they have ongoing plans to collaborate with the Tennessee Titans every year during CMA Fest. They are excited about hosting country music enthusiasts in Nashville for the nightly concerts that will take place in the new stadium.

The upcoming stadium, appropriately called the New Nissan Stadium, is going to be constructed on the East Bank of the Cumberland River, situated just east of the existing Nissan Stadium. The construction of the stadium is expected to commence this year, and it is projected to be completed and open to the public by 2027.

Fans of country music can continue to reach the New Nissan Stadium in downtown Nashville by utilizing the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.

The new stadium for the Titans will be different from their current one. It will be an enclosed facility that focuses on providing fans with an enhanced experience. The stadium will offer panoramic views of Nashville, have a translucent roof, and include 12,000 square feet of community space that can be utilized throughout the year.

CMA Fest, originally known as Fan Fair, is an extraordinary event for country music enthusiasts. It first took place in 1972 at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium with the participation of 5,000 fans. Over time, it has evolved into one of the most significant annual gatherings in country music, attracting tens of thousands of attendees from around the world. This festival offers the opportunity to witness performances by over 250 artists across nine distinct stages in Music City.

The CMA Fest for the year 2024 has been planned to take place from June 6th to
