The stage is located at Nissan Stadium (formerly called LP Field), home of the Tennessee Titans football team, across the Columbia River from the Wildhorse Saloon and Hard Rock Cafe at lower Broadway and at the far end of the Pedestrian Bridge.
These shows DO require a hard ticket, which are currently SOLD OUT. If you do not have a ticket, you will not be granted access to the stadium. (Hint - if you don't have a ticket, you can hear pretty well from the Riverfront or by standing on the pedestrian bridge.)

Cameras are allowed. Fan Photo Lines are a huge benefit for CMA Fest four-day ticket holders. With a four-day ticket, you can take photos directly in front of the stages at Nissan Stadium. This lets YOU get up close to your favorite artist’s performance, no matter where your seats are located!
Please note that Fan Photo Lines access is reserved ONLY for four-day Ticket holders.
Due to Fan Photo Line demand and volume of participants, the lines must keep moving to accommodate all eligible fans. Event staff and signage will be onsite to assist in this process.
