CMA Music Festival 2025 Lineup and Ticket Schedule

It’s time to mosey on down to the CMA Music Festival — the honky-tonk-havin’, heel-kickin’ happy place for country music lovers since 1972! Occurring June 5-8 in Nashville, TN, this four-day event will feature performances by Jason Aldean, Kelsea Ballerini, Brooks and Dunn, Wynonna Judd, Luke Bryan, Bailey Zimmerman and more!

Each year, the CMA Music Fest rounds up the genre’s brightest stars for a weekend of country madness, and 2025 is no exception. Expect nightly concerts at Nissan Stadium featuring household names like Dierks Bentley, Blake Shelton, and Rascal Flatts, along with newcomers like Megan Moroney. That’s right; you can dance along to “What Was I Thinkin’” (a Bentley classic) one moment before diving into Moroney’s “Tennessee Orange” the next!

And don’t sleep on the surprise collaborations, as CMA Fest is known for its once-in-a-lifetime duets and jaw-dropping mashups. Bryan and Aldean have been known to work together on multiple occasions, while the crowd would go wild if a newcomer like Zimmerman joined one of his country-rock idols onstage. Nothing is off limits during this once-in-a-lifetime Nashville weekend, which you’ll only understand after attending the CMA Music Festival. 

While the tunes are the main focus of this festival (it’s called Music City for a reason,), there’s also a lot more to explore between sets.  Need a break between sets? There’s a lot more to explore. Dive into fan fair activities at Music City Center, where you can meet artists, grab exclusive merch, and get autographs from your country idols. There’s also air-conditioned lounges, interactive exhibits, and shaded hangout areas to beat the Southern heat.

And of course, we can’t forget the culinary scene! From Southern delights like fried chicken and barbecue ribs to vegan meals that will have your mouth watering, you’ll never go hungry at the CMA Music Festival. Either for great food, or grand country music sets that beat any concert you’ve ever attended. This event has been a Nashville mainstay for over 50 years, after all, and you can be a part of history by picking up tickets to the CMA Music Festival. Buy yours today!
