NASHVILLE, Team: – CMA Music Festival announced today that country music superstars Rascal Flatts (which includes Joe Don Rooney of Picher), Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Brett Eldredge, Florida Georgia Line, Sam Hunt, Alan Jackson , Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Neal McCoy, Oak Ridge Boys, Brad Paisley, Thomas Rhett, Darius Rucker, Cole Swindell, The Band Perry, Keith Urban, Wynonna & The Big Noise and Zac Brown Band will each take the stage during this Nightly Summer Concerts at LP Field.
The 2015 CMA Music Festival takes place Thursday, June 11 to Sunday June 14 in downtown Nashville, according to a press release.
“CMA Music Festival is all about the fan experience,” said Country Music Association CEO Sarah Trahern in the statement. “Our fans LP Field tickets sold at a record pace, and we wanted to reward loyalty to share this exciting lineup with them for the first time this morning.”
While the relationship between artists and fans is the basis for the event, CMA Music Festival benefits music education programs for needy children. This morning, Thomas Rhett welcomed guests at the Theatre Nashville kids for a performance of “Jack Story: A Mythic Mountain Musical”, which was funded by a $ 10,000 grant from the Foundation of the CMA 2014 CMA Music Festival. Threats of snow in Nashville prevented a majority of students attend but warmly greeted the enthusiastic crowd.
“When I was little, I was in a play called ‘Christmas Carol’. I was Scrooge,” Thomas Rhett told the crowd of students filled. “Music education was very important to me, and today was a good reminder of how clean it is to see the band of country music community together to help give back to you via CMA Fest.”
The CMA Foundation presents grants on behalf of the artists who perform at CMA Music Festival each year for free and donated more than $ 11 million for music education initiatives nationwide since 2006.
Tickets for the evening concerts at LP Field sold out in November. Across the river from the stadium, many choices of free and inexpensive entertainment will be offered to fans around downtown Nashville as part of the CMA Music Festival. Seven stages of free entertainment give fans the opportunity to choose their musical adventure, including the popular Chevrolet Riverfront Stage, which constantly fills the banks of the Cumberland River each of the four days.
