Nashville Country Festival Reveals Initial Performer Roster for June Stadium Shows
CMA Fest has confirmed the first wave of artists scheduled to perform across nightly concerts at Nissan Stadium during the festival's return to Nashville this summer.
The country music event takes place June 4–7, drawing together an expansive lineup that spans multiple generations and styles within the genre. The stadium bill features Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, and Keith Urban alongside rising acts like Bailey Zimmerman, Ella Langley, Tucker Wetmore, and Zach Top. Carly Pearce, Cody Johnson, Jordan Davis, Riley Green, Russell Dickerson, and Shaboozey also appear on the initial announcement, while veteran performers including Deana Carter, Gretchen Wilson, and HARDY round out the roster. The Red Clay Strays will contribute their roots-rock perspective to the lineup as well.
The Band Perry and Stephen Wilson Jr. are slated for mid-field performances, a stage designation that reflects their prominent roles in the overall programming.
The festival organizers say more names will come in subsequent announcements, including performers for the Platform Stage and day stage, plus opening acts and the national anthem singer. Four-night passes are currently available for purchase.
Each evening's concert will be professionally recorded for broadcast, with the special airing on ABC and Hulu during summer months. Robert Deaton will executive produce and write the television version, while director Alan Carter oversees production. SoFi serves as the festival's presenting sponsor alongside the broadcast component.
