CMA Fest is expected to undergo significant changes in the coming years due to the upcoming construction of a new stadium for the Tennessee Titans.
After being the venue for the festival's main shows for a number of years, the current Nissan Stadium will be replaced by a new venue where the shows will take place once it 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 the upcoming nightly concerts at the new stadium and are eager to invite country fans to Nashville for this event.
A brand new stadium, appropriately titled the New Nissan Stadium, is planned to be constructed on the eastern side of the current Nissan Stadium, located alongside the East Bank of the Cumberland River. The construction is expected to commence this year, and the stadium is projected to open 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.
In contrast to the Titans' present stadium, the upcoming venue will be an enclosed facility designed specifically to enhance the fan experience. It will offer breathtaking views of Nashville, a roof made of translucent material, and a community space spanning 12,000 square feet that will be accessible throughout the year.
CMA Fest, originally known as Fan Fair, is an incredible event for country music fans. It first took place in 1972 at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium and has now become one of the largest annual gatherings in the country music industry. Thousands of fans from around the world come together in Music City to enjoy performances by over 250 artists on nine different stages.
CMA Fest 2024 has been planned to take place from June 6th to June 9th
