Chris Janson and Cole Swindell are among the headliners announced this week for the open air performances at Ascend Amphitheater during CMA Music Festival, scheduled for Nashville in June. The Country Music Association’s 49th festival runs from June 9-12th and will bring live musical performances to multiple venues in the music city, with headliners like Jason Aldean, Zac Brown Band, Kane Brown, Kelsea Ballerini, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Lady A and Dierks Bentley all set to perform, among many others.
The festival will be the first since 2019 for CMA, which cancelled its 2020 event due to COVID in March of that year, then had to spike plans for a 2021 return almost exactly a year later due to continued virus concerns as vaccine rollout went on.
Tickets for CMA Music Festival performances at Ascend Amphitheater are on sale beginning Friday, April 29. Tickets for the Nissan Stadium shows are currently available in four-day pass format or single-day tickets.
Swindell is scheduled for both Ascend and Nissan Stadium, headlining the amphitheater on Saturday, June 11 joined by Ingrid Andress, Tyler Braden, Shy Carter, and Randall King on the bill that day. He performs at Nissan Stadium as part of Friday’s lineup, joined that day by Kelsea Ballerini, Thomas Rhett, Gabby Barrett, Carly Pearce, Lainey Wilson, and Kane Brown. Friday’s lineup at Ascend includes Janson, as well as Mitchell Tenpenny, Peytan Porter, LANCO, and Boy Named Banjo.
