CMA Fest 2026 brought four days of country music to Nashville from June 4 through June 7, with major sets, surprise guests, and a final run at the current Nissan Stadium before the venue is replaced.
Festival organizers confirmed the event once again spread across downtown stages, giving fans a mix of stadium performances and daytime concerts. One of the biggest moments came when Florida Georgia Line reunited during Tyler Hubbard’s set, marking a notable return for the duo in front of a packed crowd.
Ella Langley also had a strong showing, continuing her rise with a stadium performance that placed her among the weekend’s most talked-about artists. Brandon Lake brought a different tone to the festival with a faith-centered set, while Jelly Roll made an unannounced appearance that added to the weekend’s list of surprises.
Other highlights included collaborations, guest appearances, and performances from established country names and newer acts. A televised CMA Fest special is scheduled for June 25, giving viewers a broader look at the festival’s standout moments.
