CMA Fest
3-7 JUNE 2026
NASHVILLE, USA
The Ultimate Country Music Fan Experience™ began in 1972 as Fan Fair®, which drew 5,000 fans to Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium. The legendary CMA Fest has become the city’s signature Country Music event that hosts tens of thousands of fans from all 50 states, Puerto Rico and 39 international countries. It’s also the longest-running Country Music festival in the world.
Sounds Australia has been showcasing local talent at CMA Fest since 2023, with the Australian footprint growing steadily each year. In March 2025, country music was named the fastest-growing genre in Australia across streaming platforms, following Spotify data that ranked Australia as the third-largest country music market globally—behind only the US and Canada.
