Hosted by Jelly Roll and Ashley McBryde,the three-hour primetime special features can’t-miss collaborations and unforgettable performances that took place during the 51st CMA Fest just a couple of weeks ago in Nashville.   CMA Fest is a 4-Day Music Event that features opportunities for fans to meet some of their favorite country artists at Fan Fair X, see daytime performances by artists at multiple stages spread out throughout Downtown Nashville, and ends each night with some of the biggest names in Country Music taking to the stage at Ascend Amphitheater and Nissan Stadium. 

Here is a little sneak peak recap of this past CMA Fest that took place the beginning of June:

“Stepping onto the stage in front of 50,000 people to host CMA Fest at Nissan Stadium in my hometown in Nashville was indescribable,” Jelly Roll mused. “The magnitude of the moment really hit me, to be across the street from the juvenile detention center I was in and to now be onstage hosting.”

“When my buddy Jelly Roll and I walked out into this massive crowd and felt the electric energy for the first time, it felt important,” added McBryde. “We were nervous! But it also felt good because at the root of it all, it’s just me and my pal cutting up; only we’re doing it on national television for CMA Fest.”

Meanwhile, four-night stadium passes for the next years of CMA Fest, taking place June 5th – June 8th, 2025 at Nissan Stadium, will go on sale June 25th.
