CMA Music Festival After Hours presented by CMT

Why Sleep when there are places to go and things to see in Downtown Nashville? For the true partygoer in all of us, the dance floors and honkytonks of downtown are worth losing sleep over! And these places will be jammin’ Thursday through Sunday, June 5-8 during the CMA Music Festival.

When the evening’s final act exits the VAULT™ stage at LP Field each night, the parties are kickin’ into gear as CMA Music Festival After Hours™ presented by CMT™ gets underway. Food and beverage specials, live entertainment and special events are just a few items on the After Hours menu.

Hard Rock Cafe Nashville's Stub Hub Songwriters in the Round will return to the CMA Music Festival After Hours lineup for its second year. During these special performances, several of Nashville's top songwriters will share the stories behind their chart-topping songs and provide a glimpse into the birth of a hit.

Broadcast Live on XM channel 16 nightly and held inside Hard Rock Cafe Nashville Thursday through Saturday, June 5-7, each show kicks-off at midnight with the proceeds benefiting Musicians On Call (MOC), a nonprofit organization that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and other healthcare facilities in Nashville and across the country. Tickets are $15 and are available through TicketAlternative.com to buy online; or charge-by-phone at (877) 725-8849

Like we said, Why Sleep?
