The CMA Fest Lineup Was Revealed . . . And Some Fans Are Underwhelmed

The lineup for the 2025 CMA Fest was just announced, and some fans are feeling a bit underwhelmed.

But it’s not for lack of talent, it just seems like people wanted a few more big names in the mix.  Specifically, they’re bummed about not being able to see Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, and Lainey Wilson.

But let’s not focus on who WON’T be there.

Here are the biggest names that WILL be performing:

Keith Urban. . . Kelsea Ballerini . . . Jason Aldean . . . Cody Johnson . . . Dierks Bentley… Blake Shelton . . . Luke Bryan . . . Darius Rucker . . . Rascal Flatts . . . Brooks & Dunn… Riley Green . . . Megan Moroney . . . Shaboozey . . . Zach Top, and MANY more.

And even more performers are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

So why are fans feeling underwhelmed again?  Besides the Big Four, this is basically every other big act in country music.  And it looks like a great time.

This year’s CMA Fest will take place June 5th to the 8th in Nashville.  And tickets are on sale now.
