In the near future, CMA Fest will 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 host them once the new venue is finished.
The Country Music Association has expressed their intention 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 in the newly built stadium.
The upcoming stadium, appropriately named the New Nissan Stadium, will be constructed on the eastern side of the existing Nissan Stadium, situated along the East Bank of the Cumberland River. The construction is planned to commence within this year, and the stadium is expected to open in 2027.
Country music enthusiasts will still have the opportunity to reach the New Nissan Stadium in downtown Nashville by utilizing the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.
The new stadium for the Titans will be completely different from their current home. It will be a closed facility that is specifically designed to provide an enhanced experience for fans. It will have wide-ranging views of Nashville, a see-through roof, and a community area measuring 12,000 square feet that can be utilized throughout the year.
CMA Fest is a highly anticipated event for country music fans, known as the "Ultimate Country Music Fan Experience." It originated in 1972 under the name Fan Fair and initially attracted 5,000 fans at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium. Over the years, it has grown into one of the largest annual events in country music, drawing tens of thousands of attendees from around the world to Music City. The festival showcases over 250 performances by various artists on nine different stages.
