The lineup for CMA Fest 2026 has fans talking all over Nashville and June cannot come any sooner. From Country Trailblazers like Tim McGraw and Jason Aldean to Rising Stars like Ella Langley and Zach Top, CMA Fest 2026 is bound to be bigger than last year. 

The Nissan Stadium lineup will include Bailey Zimmerman, Blake Shelton, Carly Pearce, Cody Johnson, Deana Carter, Ella Langley, Gretchen Wilson, HARDY, Jason Aldean, Jordan Davis, Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, The Red Clay Strays, Riley Green, Russell Dickerson, Shaboozey, Tim McGraw, Tucker Wetmore, and Zach Top. Alongside this powerhouse stadium lineup, The Band Perry and Stephen Wilson Jr. will make special appearances, taking on mid-field performances. 

Each packed day of the country music festival, presented by SoFi, will conclude with Nissan Stadium filled with fans. During the day, country music fans can enjoy live music at both free and ticket-required shows. The CMA Close Up Stage and CMA Spotlight Stage will require either a Stadium Pass or Fan Fair X Ticket, while the Chevy Riverfront Stage, Dr. Pepper Amp Stage, Chevy Vibes Stage, and Good Molecules Reverb Stage will be free for fans across Nashville. 

The ticket-required stages will host artist performances by Dierks Bentley, Reba McEntire, Wynonna Judd, and more. The free-admission stages will host performances by Chris Lane, Kylie Morgan, Rita Wilson, Matt Lang, and many more to keep country music fans entertained each day of the festival. 

For country fans across the country, the festival will be filmed for a national television special that will air on ABC and Hulu this summer. Stadium passes are on sale now, and fans still have time to lock down their spot for CMA Fest 2026.
