Inside Spotify House 2026: Surprise Guests, Star-Studded Performances, & More

As CMA Fest took over downtown Nashville, Spotify House once again stood out as one of the week’s most sought after spots for country music fans from June 4-6. Returning to Ole Red, the three-day event brought together a mix of chart-topping artists, rising talent, and surprise guests, all taking over the stage in a massive celebration of country music.

Entertainment Tonight’s Cassie DiLaura returned as host for each day of programming, joined by Conversation Starters founder Lex Niko, who stepped into hosting duties for the first time. Together, they guided fans through a nonstop rotation of live performances and unforgettable moments inside the establishment located on Nashville’s bustling Broadway strip.

Fans were lined up each day from morning to night for a chance to get inside and see their favorite acts. Top listeners of Spotify’s Hot Country playlist earned early access on a first-come, first-served basis. Once inside, attendees were treated to an up-close look at some of country music’s biggest names alongside the genre’s fast-rising breakout artists.

The weekend got off to a strong start on June 4 as fans packed the venue to catch sets from Jon Pardi, Laci Kaye Booth, Koe Wetzel, Kameron Marlowe, Cody Johnson, and Jelly Roll, who lit up the stage with a mix of his country favorites like “Get By” and “Liar” as well as a mashup of genre-spanning hits including “Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd, “How You Remind Me” by Nickelback, and “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus.”

The first round of surprise moments came from Ashley McBryde’s set when she welcomed rock legend Melissa Etheridge for an unexpected duet. Jason Aldean also popped up to perform “Dirt Road Anthem” and “My Kinda Party,” plus new track “Don’t Tell On Me.”

Two Friends closed out the night with an energetic DJ set, joined by BRELAND, Tyler Braden, Dustin Lynch, and Jake Banfield.

The excitement returned on Friday when rising stars Vincent Mason and Avery Anna set the tone for the day. Performances continued with Ole 60, Wyatt Flores, ERNEST, Keith Urban, Tucker Wetmore, Brothers Osborne, and Carly Pearce who kept the crowd engaged from start to finish.

One of the biggest highlights of the night came when Tyler Hubbard stepped on stage as a surprise guest. He performed a few songs solo before bringing out Brian Kelley for an unexpected Florida Georgia Line reunion. The duo sent a packed-out Ole Red into a frenzy with fan-favorite hits including “H.O.L.Y.,” “Cruise,” and “Meant To Be.”

Spotify House saved plenty of energy for the final day, wrapping up the epic weekend with one last round of can’t-miss performances from Shaboozey, Luke Bryan, Kane brown, Dasha, Dan + Shay, Russell Dickerson, Cole Swindell and more. Of course, the day wouldn’t have been complete without a few more standout moments, like Rob Rausch surprising Dasha with her first Spotify Billions Club plaque for “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’).”

Additionally, a slew of new music was introduced to the select group of fans inside the venue. Carter Faith debuted a new duet of an unreleased track “Nothin’ Better To Do” with Wyatt Flores, Tyler Braden performed his unreleased track”Horseshoes and Hand Grenades” (arriving June 26), Midland tapped Mackenzie Carpenter to perform a soon-to-be-released track from their upcoming album, “Walk A Mile with My Boots” and Cole Swindell had emotions high with his tear-jerking new single, “Girl Dad.”
