CMA Fest 2025 Brings The Heat to Music City | Music City Minute

CMA Fest 2025 was a smashing success with wall-to-wall country! this year. The TV special was hosted by Cody Johnson and Ashley McBryde, who each performed their own sets during the festival. Other big-name performers over the three days included Kelsea Ballerini, Keith Urban, Jordan Davis, Bailey, Zimmerman, Dierks Bentley and Luke Bryan. Fans were also treated to plenty of surprises such as Lainey Wilson rocking and stage with Brooks & Dunn, Trace Adkins performing with Blake Shelton, Travis Tritt and Jason Aldean teamed up for a rendition of It’s A Great Day To Be Alive. The crowd went wild for Ella Langley and Riley Green, who took the stage to sing their smash hit, You Look Like You Love Me. Megan Moroney brought out her brother, Connor, to play a set with her and Carley Pierce sang her lungs out with Rascal Flatts. Even though Jelly Roll wasn’t officially on the bill he popped in during Shaboozey's set to perform, Amen, as well as Hard Fought Hallelujah with Brandon Lake.
