2018 CMA Music Festival: 10 Artists You Can’t Miss
On June 7-10, 2018, the CMA Music Festival will take over Music City for perhaps the biggest country music festival ever. The annual even boasts performances from more than 350 artists on 11 stages, both free and ticketed, throughout downtown Nashville.
The best part about CMA Fest is that there's a little something for pretty much every kind of country music fan. In addition to its A-plus lineup of headliners -- Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Dierks Bentley, Chris Stapleton, Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Kelsea Ballerini and Lee Ann Womack, just to name a few -- the 2018 CMA Music Festival will also feature hundreds of rising stars -- Lanco, Steve Moakler and William Michael Morgan, among others -- as well as some iconic mainstays such as Ricky Skaggs, the Oak Ridge Boys and Charley Pride. The list goes on and on ... and on!
In short: There are so many amazing acts to try and see during CMA Fest 2018's four days. Read on for The Boot's picks for 10 you absolutely shouldn't miss.
