Strumming its way back through the heart of Music City, the 51st annual CMA Fest is set to pitch camp in Downtown Nashville from June 6-9, bringing a roster of country music's finest to an audience buzzing for twang and tunes. NewsChannel5 reports the festivities will feature heavy hitters like Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Bryan, and Keith Urban, ensuring the Nissan Stadium will be abuzz with an electrifying mix of chart-toppers and guitar shredders.

The festival, renowned for drawing fans tens of thousands from the states and over 50 countries worldwide, will not only showcase at Nissan Stadium but will also sprawl across a myriad of other stages, with the Ascend Amphitheater making a return boasting three nights of shows—details of which, per iHeart's K102, will be revealed later with stages hosting over a hundred artists meet-and-greets at Fan Fair X, and a spread of free outdoor performances, illuminating Downtown Nashville with melody and song.

While the initial lineup has been declared, there's murmuring of further collaborations and performances waiting in the wings, set to be divulged in the coming weeks. As espoused by Billboard, slated to share the spotlight are names like Cody Johnson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the genre-blending The War And Treaty adding their distinct sounds to the rumbling roster.

Tickets swung into sale this Thursday at 10 a.m. CT, with both four-night passes and single-night tickets up for grabs, as well as access to Fan Fair X and the Riverside Retreat, defining June as the ultimate country stronghold in Tennessee—a national TV special capturing the festival's highlights is poised to air over the summer on ABC and Hulu.
