The lineup for the nightly Nissan Stadium shows at CMA Fest 2026 has been revealed, including a slew of the young stars that are currently helping drive the genre’s popularity, such as Ella Langley, Zach Top, Cody Johnson, Tucker Wetmore, Shaboozey, Stephen Wilson Jr. and Red Clay Strays.
Some longer-established stars will also be on the agenda during the June 4-7 festival in Nashville, of course, including Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean.
Hitmakers of the past few years represented on the lineup include Riley Green, Jordan Davis, Hardy, Carly Pearce, Bailey Zimmerman and Russell Dickerson.
The festival has some returning favorites from past years making a return, too, in the form of Deana Carter, Gretchen Wilson and the recently reconfigured Band Perry.
Other performers will be announced later on, including some opening acts and the nightly performers of the national anthem. This rollout of names includes only the artists who will be appearing at Nissan Stadium (which is set to be demolished for a newer stadium), and not the many dozens more who will perform on daytime stages during CMA Fest.
Four-night stadium passes are now on sale at CMAfest.com/tickets.
As always, the four nightly concerts will be filmed to be edited into a prime-time special set to air on ABC and on Hulu. As always, the special will be executive produced by Robert Deaton and directed by Alan Carter. No air date has yet been announced for the special, which used to air after Labor Day but more recently has been moved up into the summer.
