CMA Fest, the world’s largest country music festival, took place in Nashville earlier this month. This week, those who want to relive the experience or the rest of us who have had FOMO for weeks can watch a recap of this year’s event.
Artists including Keith Urban, Kelsea Ballerini, HARDY, Luke Bryan, Jelly Roll, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ashley McBryde, Lainey Wilson, Carly Pearce, Bailey Zimmerman and more performed on the main stage, while acts such as Chayce Beckham, Drake Milligan, Lauren Alaina, Mickey Guyton, The War And Treaty, Alexandra Kay, Blanco Brown, HunterGirl, and stacks more took to other stages.
CMA Fest – which featured over 300 artists this year – expanded once more with the reveal that Old Dominion, Jackson Dean, Terri Clark, Shaboozey, Brittney Spencer, Dasha, Dylan Marlowe, and more had joined the bill.
That announcement followed the addition of Australian artists Lane Pittman, Andrew Swift, Taylor Moss, and Wade Forster to the CMA Fest line-up.
The beloved up-and-coming Aussie acts joined the previously announced Australian artists Travis Collins, Casey Barnes, and Zac & George.
Kaylee Bell also represented New Zealand.
A few weeks ago, it was announced that Jelly Roll and Ashley McBryde would host a three-hour concert special for all things CMA Fest, including “never-before-seen performances” and “surprise collaborations”, per event organisers.
When the CMA Fest concert special was first announced, we’re sure that country music fans on the other side of the world were worried that it would only air in the US. Luckily, that isn’t the case.
KIX Country notes that the concert special will air in the US, Canada, Australia and Norway. Australian fans can tune in from 10 am AEST this Wednesday (26 June) on the streaming service Stan.
In the US, CMA Fest, the concert special, will air at 8/7c on Tuesday on ABC and stream the following day on Hulu.
