In the near future, CMA Fest is expected to undergo significant changes 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 no longer serve as the host as the shows will be relocated to the newly constructed venue once it is finished.
According to the Country Music Association, they have ongoing plans to collaborate with the Tennessee Titans every year during CMA Fest. They are excited about the prospect of hosting country music fans in Nashville for the nightly concerts that will take place in the recently built stadium.
A brand new stadium, appropriately called the New Nissan Stadium, will be constructed on the eastern side of the current Nissan Stadium, located along the East Bank of the Cumberland River. The construction is expected to start this year, and the stadium is planned to be open for public use in 2027.
Fans of country music can still reach the New Nissan Stadium in downtown Nashville by using the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.
The new stadium for the Titans will be different from their current one. It will be an indoor facility designed to provide an enhanced experience for fans. The stadium will offer panoramic views of Nashville, have a see-through roof, and include a 12,000 square feet area for community use throughout the year.
CMA Fest is an incredible event for country music fans, known as the "Ultimate Country Music Fan Experience." It first started in 1972 under the name Fan Fair, with a small gathering of 5,000 fans at the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville. Over the years, it has grown into one of the largest yearly events in country music, attracting tens of thousands of attendees from around the world. This festival features over 250 performances by various artists on nine different stages in Music City.
The CMA Fest 2024 has been planned to take place from June 6th to June 9
