CMA Fest is officially back from June 4 - 7, 2026, and the Nissan Stadium lineup just dropped.
As always, the four night run will turn downtown Nashville into country music’s Super Bowl, with each evening culminating inside Nissan Stadium for marathon style shows packed with stars and viral breakout acts.
Leading the charge? A genuine mix of country music legends and next generation names.
We’re talking chart-toppers like Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and Blake Shelton who have been responsible for half your summer playlists since 2012.
They’ll be joined by heavy hitters including Tim McGraw, Cody Johnson and HARDY, alongside fan favourites like Carly Pearce, Jordan Davis, Riley Green and Russell Dickerson.
Then there’s the new wave: Bailey Zimmerman, Ella Langley, Tucker Wetmore, Zach Top and genre bending breakout Shaboozey - whose crossover energy feels tailor made for a stadium crowd.
Throw in icons like Gretchen Wilson and Deana Carter for a little early-2000s nostalgia hit, plus mid-field moments from The Band Perry and Stephen Wilson Jr. to round out the lineup, and you’ve got four nights that feel less like a standard country show and more like back to back headline energy.
Additional performers, including platform stage acts, openers and the national anthem singer are still to be announced.
Beyond the stadium shows, CMA Fest will once again flood downtown Nashville with daytime stages, pop-ups and fan experiences, but Nissan Stadium remains the crown jewel.
Four night stadium passes are on sale now, and if history tells us anything, this lineup won’t stay available for long. Nashville in June? It’s not just a vibe. it’s a pilgrimage.
Tickets are on sale now via CMA Fest’s official website.
