CMAFest 22

CMA FEST

A tradition among traditions returned to Nashville in June after two painful summers off. The 49th annual CMAFest was back along with 80,000 fans from across all fifty states. CMAFest featured four days of sold-out shows at Nissan Stadium, smaller stages scattered around the city, meet and greets, surprise pop-ups, interviews, and Country Music at its finest.

CMA fest is a fan favorite, not only because almost every Country music star can be found performing around the city, but because of the reason behind the festival. Artists donate their time, and a portion of the ticket revenue is invested in music education programs throughout the country.

Relive the highlights of the longest-running Country Music Festival in the world on August 3rd, on ABC. The special will be hosted by Dierks Bently and Elle King, the daughter of comedian Rob Schneider. It will feature 30 performances and a variety of collaborations .
