NASHVILLE – CMA has announced the artists who will be appearing
Thursday, June 9 as part of the
Nightly Concerts at CMA Music Festival. Country Music superstars Jason
Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert,
and Rascal Flatts are scheduled to perform opening night.
Artists and schedules are subject to change.
Each Wednesday in March CMA will announce the lineup
for a different Nightly Concert at Nissan Stadium. Loyal fans who downloaded the
CMA Music Festival app learned the news a full 24 hours before the announcement
was made to the general public.
“The fans are the heart of CMA Music Festival,” said CMA
Chief Executive Officer Sarah Trahern. “Nissan Stadium sells
out every year before we announce who will be performing, and it is fitting that
those fans who support this event so loyally should be the first to see this outstanding lineup.”
The 2016 CMA Music Festival
runs Thursday through Sunday, June 9-12
in downtown Nashville. While the Festival boasts numerous free stages and unique
fan experiences, the most anticipated events are the Nightly Concerts at Nissan Stadium.
This year’s app is now
available in the App store for iPhone
and Android
and includes features that allow fans to create individual concert schedules and
be the first to know which of their favorite stars will be appearing on the Nissan Stadium stage.
Funds generated through
CMA Music Festival ticket sales benefit music education. Since 2006, CMA and the
CMA Foundation have donated more than $13.6 million to support sustainable music
education initiatives across the country on behalf of the artists who participate in the event for free.
Fans who were not able
to purchase tickets to the Nightly Concerts are still able to enjoy non-stop music,
fan engagement, and artist experiences through numerous FREE stages and events
across town and by experiencing Fan Fair X in the Music City Center.
Tickets to Fan Fair X are
available now at CMAfest.com
(Fan Fair X admission is included in four-day CMA Music Festival tickets). Fan
Fair X tickets are $10 per day or $25 for a four-day pass.
For the second year, fans will
be able to purchase a four-day pass to the Fan Fair X that includes a general
admission ticket to the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum that is good for
use any day in 2016. The package deal is on sale now through Friday, June 10 and costs $39.95. The combination Fan Fair
X/Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum tickets are available via the Country
Music Hall of Fame website, http://countrymusichalloffame.org,
and will also be sold at their box office during the week of CMA Music Festival. |
