Dates Confirmed for CMA Fest 2025

Sunday (June 9) may have marked another CMA Fest for the books, but it was just announced that the fan-favorite Nashville-wide weekend will return in 2025.

The 52nd CMA Fest will be back to take over Music City from Thursday, June 5 through Sunday, June 8, 2025, ready to wow us again with even more action-packed lineups, unforgettable music moments and unbelievably good times.

The 2024 fest delivered on a long weekend full of all of the above and more. Nashville's Nissan Stadium stayed aglow all festival long, hosting stars like Kelsea Ballerini, Brothers Osborne, Jordan Davis, HARDY, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ashley McBryde, Megan Moroney, The War And Treaty, Thomas Rhett, Lainey Wilson, Bailey Zimmerman and more.

Nightly shows at Ascend Amphitheater were just as radiant, fans bearing witness to special showcases from heavy-hitters and rising stars alike. There, veteran acts like Brett Young and Tracy Lawrence hosted their own respective "Nights with Friends," inviting the likes of Colbie Caillat, Gavin DeGraw, NEEDTOBREATHE, Lily Rose, Shaylen, Priscilla Block, Riley Green, Maddie & Tae, RaeLynn, Chris Young and several others into the spotlight.

Even more stages around the city became beacons of good times over the course of the multi-day affair.

In between the action, the fest's Fan Fair X at Music City Center offered an escape from the heat and front-row access to some of country's biggest stars like Dolly Parton, Cody Johnson, Thomas Rhett and Lainey Wilson.

If you missed even a moment of it or if you just want to relive it all, “CMA Fest,” a three-hour television special hosted by Jelly Roll and Ashley McBryde, is set to air on Tuesday, June 25, at 7 p.m. Central on ABC. It will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.
