Spotify House returned to CMA Fest once again, bringing three days of live music to Ole Red in Downtown Nashville.
The 2025 edition of Spotify House welcomed rising stars and superstar artists, bringing the popular Hot Country Playlist to life in Music City.
The event kicked off on Thursday, June 6 with superstar Keith Urban, who brought the energy and even made his way off stage to the top of Ole Red bar. The day continued with performances from Thelma & James, Bailey Zimmerman, Noah Cyrus, and a surprise set from Eric Church.
The day closed out with a DJ set from Marshmello with appearances by Kane Brown, Dasha, Hudson Westbrook, and Ashley Cooke.
The music continued on Friday, with Tanner Adell kicking things off. Warren Zeiders followed with performances of fan-favorites like “Relapse” and “Pretty Little Poison” before Dasha returned to the venue to deliver a high-energy performance that included “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’) and a cover of Gretchen Wilson’s “Here For The Party.”
Friday also featured Midland, Little Big Town, and a surprise performance from Carín León.
The fun didn’t stop there because Kelsea Ballerini graced the stage for a late night set, thrilling fans with performances of “Baggage,” “Love Me Like You Mean It,” and more. While on stage, she admitted that this was her last show “a minute” – confirming was she previously told Country Now – that she plans to slow things down a bit this summer.
Spotify House closed out with a bang with a star-studded day three. Ne-Yo shocked fans when he appeared inside Spotify House alongside Ashley Cooke to perform his song, “So Sick” after she covered it on tour.
The surprises didn’t stop there because Blake Shelton popped up to perform songs like “God’s Country” and “Drink On It” and also debuted two unreleased new tracks. It’s only fitting because it’s his bar and he can do what he wants, right?!
Megan Moroney also showed up unannounced, delivering a set full of hits like “Am I Okay?,” “No Caller ID,” and “Indifferent.”
Saturday’s lineup featured standout performances from Rascal Flatts, Shaboozey, Lainey Wilson, and Jordan Davis.
During his set, Shaboozey was surprised onstage with a Spotify Billions Club plaque for his smash hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which he performed to close out his set.
The night wrapped with Jordan Davis, who brought the energy to a high with crowd favorites like “Next Thing You Know” and “I Ain’t Sayin’” as he closed out Spotify House 2025.
