NASHVILLE
– Music continues to be the main attraction at the 2012 CMA Music Festival with
a variety of artists from up-and-comers to legendary hitmakers performing on the
new BIC Soleil Bella Beach Stage as well as the very popular Bud Light Stage at
the Bridgestone Plaza where fans can enjoy 40 hours of concerts for free.
“Live
music is a hallmark of CMA Music Festival and we are excited to be able to add
a new stage and even more performances this year,” said Steve Moore, CMA Chief Executive Officer.
The BIC
Soleil Bella Beach Stage is a new addition to the Festival in 2012 with concerts
and fun-in-the-sun activities starting at 11:00 AM/CT each day during the Festival,
which runs Thursday through Sunday, June 7-10.
The Bud Light Stage
at Bridgestone Arena Plaza, at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Broadway, is always
a fan favorite and a great place to check out some of Country’s hottest acts.
Packed with music fans in 2011, the stage is bigger and better in 2012 with a
diverse lineup of performers and the addition of the world-famous Clydesdale horses
nearby.
