In a recent announcement, CMA Fest officials noted that Country Music Hall of Famer Alan Jackson will no longer perform on Saturday, June 11, on the festival's Nissan Stadium stage. Brothers Osborne and Old Dominion have been announced as his replacements.

Highlighting myriad moments occurring in the genre, a group of streaming-popular, diverse and '90s acts were announced as openers at Nissan Stadium: Deana Carter, Sara Evans, Everette, Randy Houser, Angie K, Kylie Morgan and Shenandoah.

Baltimore-born and Nashville-based breakout star Brittney Spencer will add to her growing list of standout moments. In a redux of her recent appearance at the Kentucky Derby, she will perform the national anthem before Thursday's opening night at Nissan Stadium featuring Darius Rucker, Jason Aldean, Keith Urban and Zac Brown Band.

CMA Fest will also host performances from a new space, the "Platform Stage" in the center of Nissan Stadium. Priscilla Block, Madeline Edwards, Kat + Alex, Maddie & Tae, Frank Ray, Lily Rose and Dylan Scott are featured here.

Recent Ryman Auditorium headliner Russell Dickerson will play the CMA Close Up Stage Thursday as the Artist of the Day at Fan Fair X. Other acts added to the CMA Fest lineup include Ryan Charles, Brooke Eden, Mae Estes and Ella Langley. Eden, similar to Spencer,  will kick off the Chevy Riverfront Stage Thursday morning, performing the National Anthem.

CMA Fest's four-day passes and single-night tickets for the nightly concerts at Nissan Stadium are nearly sold out. However, Ascend Amphitheater nighttime concerts (Friday and Saturday nights only), the new Riverside Retreat premium destination along the Cumberland River, and Fan Fair X inside Music City Center (featuring celebrity panels, games and partner activations to unforgettable performances and meet-and-greets) still have tickets available via CMAfest.com/tickets.
