On Sunday, the fourth and final day of 2025’s CMA Fest will bring another star-studded lineup and jam-packed day of country music.
Now in its 52nd year, the music festival has drawn nearly a million concertgoers to Nashville over the past decade.
Throughout the day on June 8, country artists will perform on five outdoor stages downtown, where no ticket is required for entry. The concerts are free to attend, featuring both country music greats and emerging stars.
In the evening, Nissan Stadium will host its final night of ticketed concerts with a stacked bill of A-list country artists.
With over 300 performers on CMA Fest’s docket, it’s difficult to navigate which shows are the ones not to miss each day. We’re here to help.
Here are four shows to try and catch on Sunday morning and afternoon as the festival draws to a close.
Brandon Lake
Christian worship singer Brandon Lake will perform at the Chevy Riverfront Stage at 11 a.m.
Lake has continued to gain momentum after the release of his tune “Hard Fought Hallelujah” alongside country singer Jelly Roll, as well as making his Grand Ole Opry debut and co-hosting the K-LOVE Fan Awards.
On June 13, Lake will release his new record “King of Hearts.”
Willow Avalon
Breakout country star Willow Avalon will perform at 12:30 p.m. at the Good Molecules Reverb Stage.
The “Tequila or Whiskey” singer, and rural Georgia native, dropped her album “Southern Belle Raisin’ Hell” in January and released a track with Charles Wesley Godwin, “The Actor,” in May.
Tucker Wetmore
The “Wind Up Missin’ You” singer will perform at the Chevy Riverfront Stage at 3:10 p.m.
The 25-year-old singer-songwriter moved to Nashville from Montana after an injury ended his football career. He gained traction in the country music world when his song “Wine Into Whiskey” climbed the charts — and it’s been off to the races ever since.
Wetmore released his record “What Not To” in April.
Ella Langley
Rising country singer-songwriter Ella Langley will perform at 4 p.m. at Chevy Riverfront Stage.
After sweeping at the 2025 ACM Awards for her hit “You Look Like You Love Me” with Riley Green, Langley has become one of the hottest new country stars on the scene. She released her record “Hungover” in 2024.
