Fan PhotoI have gone to CMA Music Festival the past three years! I don?t know of any other concert event that you can go to and see 5 incredible Country Music artists for $30 all in one night! Last year I went 2 of the 4 nights and saw artists such as Brooks and Dunn, Sugarland, Reba, and Kelly Clarkson! The energy the artists bring to the event is amazing and there are usually surprise guests, too, which is just a bonus! I can?t wait to go to the event this year!

Index of Topics> Music Fest Myths Debunked

1. There aren’t any good seats left.
Actually, there are great seats left and we held them just for you. As a local fan you have access to Lower and Club level seats by purchasing the Single Night Reserved Ticket to the night of your choice for just $40. Of course, general admission seating is also available for $30 each.

2. It’s too crowded.
Ever been to a Titans game? How about any other concert or sporting event downtown? Just because there are more artists doesn’t mean there are longer lines, or that you constantly have to sift through a crowd of people. There’s lots of space and plenty to do!

3. There’s nowhere to park.
LP Field’s parking lots E and F are particularly for Single Night concert ticket holders. Cost is $10 and you can’t beat the reserved location! Check out the Greased Lightning® Daytime Stages or the FREE zones during the day. Ample paid surface lots and parking garages are available in Downtown Nashville, conveniently accessible to LP Field via the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge.

4. The CMA Music Festival isn’t an ideal place for kids.
There are plenty of fun activities for kids of all ages! Visit the Fun Zone between First and Second Avenue, the McDonald’s®-Dr Pepper® Family Zone in Hall of Fame Park or the Chevy ™ Sports Zone behind the Sommet Center. Plenty of fun for the whole family!

5. I can’t take the time off work.
LP Field Nightly Concerts don’t start until 8pm. Plenty of time to change into your casual clothes and head downtown to see your favorite Country Music stars rock the stage!

6. I can’t make it, I’ve got plans that night.
Evenings already booked? No problem, there’s plenty to do during the day. Come enjoy the eclectic sounds of Country Music at the Greased Lightning® Daytime Stages at Riverfront Park, or hit up all the free activities and spectator events in the Zones! Daytime activities kick off at 10am.

7. I live in the Country Music capital. I’ll see my favorite artist when they tour individually.
You could be missing out on some great music and wonderful surprises! Plus, with so much talent on one nightly ticket, you can’t beat the value. Also, the event helps kids in your community. Half of net proceeds go to “Keep the Music Playing,” a program which funds music education in Nashville schools. Who knows? Maybe you’ll find a new favorite artist!
