In the near future, CMA Fest will undergo significant changes due to the impending construction of a new stadium for the Tennessee Titans.
After being the location for the festival's main shows for many years, the current Nissan Stadium will no longer host the shows once the new venue is finished.
The Country Music Association has expressed their intentions to collaborate with the Tennessee Titans annually during CMA Fest. They are excited to invite country music fans to Nashville for the evening concerts that will take place in the newly constructed stadium.
The upcoming stadium, appropriately called the New Nissan Stadium, will be constructed to the east of the existing Nissan Stadium, situated along the East Bank of the Cumberland River. The commencement of construction is planned for this year, and it is expected to be completed and open to the public by 2027.
Fans of country music will continue to have the option to reach the New Nissan Stadium in downtown Nashville by utilizing the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.
The forthcoming stadium for the Titans will have a different setup compared to their current one. It will be a closed facility designed to provide an enhanced fan experience, offering breathtaking views of Nashville. The stadium will have a see-through roof and will also feature a spacious area of 12,000 square feet for community use throughout the year.
CMA Fest is an extraordinary event for country music fans, known as the "Ultimate Country Music Fan Experience." It originated in 1972 under the name Fan Fair, starting as a small gathering of 5,000 fans at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium. Over the years, it has grown into one of the largest annual events in country music, attracting tens of thousands of guests from around the world. During the festival, attendees can enjoy performances by over 250 artists across nine different stages in Music City.
The CMA Fest 2024 has been planned to take place from June 6th to June 9
