Get ready, country music fans—CMA Fest is coming back to downtown Nashville from Thursday June 5 to Sunday, June 8, bringing four packed days of live music, fan experiences, and unforgettable moments to Music City. Now in its sixth decade, CMA Fest continues its legacy as the world’s longest-running country music festival, with an electric lineup and a mission rooted in giving back.
This year marks a new chapter in the festival’s storied history as it welcomes SoFi as its first-ever presenting sponsor, joining forces with the Country Music Association in a multi-year partnership. SoFi’s mission to help individuals achieve financial independence aligns with CMA’s commitment to supporting artists, fans, and the wider country music ecosystem—making this a partnership that hits all the right notes.
From superstar headliners lighting up Nissan Stadium each night to free daytime stages scattered across downtown, CMA Fest 2025 promises something for everyone. The initial stadium lineup boasts a who’s who of country royalty, including Jason Aldean, Kelsea Ballerini, Brooks & Dunn, Luke Bryan, Riley Green, Ashley McBryde, Darius Rucker, Keith Urban, and Bailey Zimmerman, with many more surprise guests and collaborations expected.
Across 10 unique stages, fans can catch live sets from a wide range of artists—from rising stars to household names. Highlights include:
