The announcement of the Ascend Amphitheater concerts comes just weeks after the Country Music Association revealed the initial CMA Fest lineup. The first announcement included artist announcements for the nightly shows at Nissan Stadium and additional stages around Nashville.
Always the hottest tickets in town for CMA Fest, this year’s Nissan Stadium stage lineup includes Kelsea Ballerini, Brothers Osborne, Luke Bryan, Jordan Davis, HARDY, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum, Megan Moroney, Jon Pardi, Carly Pearce, The War and Treaty, Thomas Rhett, Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson, and Bailey Zimmerman.

CMA Fest also features a slew of free concerts, including performances at the Chevy Riverfront Stage, the Dr Pepper AMP Stage, the Chevy Vibes Stage, The Good Molecules Reverb Stage, and the Hard Rock Stage. See the initial lineup for CMA Fest HERE.
In addition to the previously mentioned stages, fans will also have a chance to participate in meet-and-greet opportunities inside Fan Fair X at Music City Center.

The information can be found by downloading the official CMA Fest app.
Starting in 2006, a portion of the earnings generated from CMA Fest has been directed towards supporting music education initiatives that benefit students in grades K-12 throughout the United States, facilitated by the CMA Foundation. Because of this, artists donate their time when they perform at CMA Fest.
