CMA Music Festival Tickets

CMA Music Festival will be held in Nashville this summer from June 11th through 14th and always brings out many of the biggest names in Country.

The annual event is known as the "Fan Fair," and is entering its 38th year. Fan favorites take time out of their schedule each June to perform for free, meet fans and sign autographs in an effort to give back to the community that supports them. The roster for artists participating this year is coming soon, and surely won't disappoint anxiously-awaiting fans.

In addition to the concerts and autograph opportunities, the festival includes a number of exhibits and activities, including games, giveaways, free refreshments and a number of other events to show the country community appreciation.

The fans clearly appreciate the effort - in 2008, the CMA Music Festival had 52,000 fans attending daily from all over the world, featured more than 100 artists and other notable people, 34 hours of concerts and countless hours of autograph signings. Dwight Yoakam, Sugarland, Taylor Swift, Jewel, Miranda Lambert, Josh Turner, Rodney Atkins, Kellie Pickler and Lady Antebellum were on hand to join in on the fun.

Half of the net proceed from the festival will be donated to the "Keep the Music Playing" charity, which promotes music education in Nashville's Public school system. The festival has donated more than $1 million to the cause over the years.
