The concerts at Nissan Stadium require purchase of a weekend pass or single-night ticket, but CMA Fest also offers a ton of free music during the daytime. Four outdoor stages located around downtown Nashville will include performances by some of the hottest new talent like Ingrid Andress, Breland, Dillon Carmichael, Chapel Hart, Elvie Shane, Caylee Hammack, and Jackson Dean. Beloved veterans will also play these stages, including Pam Tillis, Shenandoah, and Mark Wills. Lainey Wilson will put in double duty, playing a daytime showcase in addition to her stadium performance.

A limited number of four-night passes to Nissan Stadium are on sale, but fans can also purchase single-night tickets to the stadium beginning Tuesday, March 7, at 11 a.m. ET. Fans can buy passes to access Fan Fair X in Music City Center for meet-and-greet opportunities and special performances. Additional artists are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
