‘CMA Fest – The Music Event of Summer’ Returns to ABC in August
Relive the biggest moments from this year's CMA Music Festival in Nashville.
As usual, this year’s CMA Music Festival in Nashville felt like a cross between a family reunion and an all-inclusive vacation for country stars and their fans, with four nights of stadium concerts and a city full of free music to enjoy. But if you couldn’t make the June event, you’re in luck, because it’s coming to ABC as CMA Fest – The Music Event of Summer.
Airing Sunday, August 4 at 8/7c, the broadcast will gather more than 30 live performances from country’s hottest superstars, hosted once again by Thomas Rhett and Kelsea Ballerini — with special guest host Bobby Bones for the first time. For the 16th year in a row, exhilarating footage from each night’s Nissan Stadium shows will keep you on the edge of your seat, offering a high-definition look at today’s country genre through artists like Luke Combs, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood and yes, Lil Nas X.
The fun begins on August 4, but in the meantime here’s a look at just some of the big names and all-star collaborations on tap for CMA Fest – The Music Event of Summer.
