The Country Music Association has announced that Tracy Lawrence, Jo Dee Messina, Tanya Tucker and Josh Turner will join the list of country artists that are slated to perform on the Nissan Stadium main stage throughout the four-day festival.
Additionally, King Calaway will deliver the National Anthem at Nissan Stadium on Thursday, June 8.
Taking place in Downtown Nashville Thursday through Sunday, June 8-11, 2023, the four-day festival will feature hundreds of artists performing on multiple stages throughout Music City.
The stages include nightly concerts at Nissan Stadium, free daytime performances at the Chevy Riverfront Stage, the Dr. Pepper AMP Stage, the Chevy Vibes Stage, and more.
The longest-running Country Music festival in the world will also include unique up-close-and-personal experiences that bring fans and artists together at the annual Fan Fair X located inside Music City Center.
“We are so excited to celebrate the 50th anniversary of CMA Fest this year!” says Sarah Trahern, CMA Chief Executive Officer. “A lot has changed since our early days of Fan Fair but all these years later, the heart of the festival remains that special connection between the fans and the artists. We are truly grateful to everyone who has supported us throughout the years and we look forward to celebrating this milestone with all of our attendees in June. Stay tuned for much more!”
