Kicking off each night of the shows will be special guests to sing the National Anthem. On Thursday night, a group from the Nashville School of the Arts will perform ahead of the Chevy Riverfront Stage, with a second group singing before the nightly concerts. Lindsay Ell will step in on Friday night, while Runaway June sing on Saturday and Jimmie Allen on Sunday.

All of the artists performing during CMA have graciously donated their time so a portion of the ticket proceeds can benefit many music education initiatives across the country. These initiatives are supported by the Country Music Association’s CMA Foundation.

A limited number of four-day passes for the nightly Nissan Stadium performances are still available at CMAfest.com or through the CMA Box Office at 1-800-CMA-FEST.
