“CMA FEST” UNVEILS STAR-STUDDED PERFORMANCES FOR THREE-HOUR PRIMETIME CONCERT SPECIAL AIRING TUESDAY, JUNE 25 AT 8/7c ON ABC
Country Music Stars Jelly Roll and Ashley McBryde Host the Music Event of Summer
“CMA Fest,” the Music Event of Summer, is coming to a screen near you! The Country Music Association has revealed 30 star-studded performances featured in its “CMA Fest” primetime television special, hosted by Jelly Roll and Ashley McBryde, and airing Tuesday, June 25 at 8/7c on ABC and next day on Hulu.
“Stepping onto the stage in front of 50,000 people to host CMA Fest at Nissan Stadium in my hometown of Nashville was indescribable,” says Jelly Roll. “The magnitude of the moment really hit me, to be across the street from the juvenile detention center I was in and to now be on stage hosting—how do you describe being in the same exact place while being in a place that couldn’t be more different, at the same time.”
“When my buddy Jelly Roll and I walked out into this massive crowd and felt the electric energy for the first time, it felt important,” says McBryde. “We were nervous! But it also felt good, because at the root of it all, it’s just me and my pal cutting up, only we’re doing it on national television for CMA Fest.”
The three-hour concert event features can’t-miss collaborations and unforgettable performances that took place during the 51st CMA Fest just days ago in Nashville. Featured “CMA Fest” performers include Kelsea Ballerini, Big & Rich, Clint Black, Brothers Osborne, Luke Bryan, Terri Clark, Jordan Davis, Jackson Dean, Billy F Gibbons, HARDY, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Little Big Town, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum, Megan Moroney, Jon Pardi, Carly Pearce, Post Malone, Shaboozey, Blake Shelton, Brittney Spencer, The War And Treaty, Thomas Rhett, Keith Urban, Gretchen Wilson, Lainey Wilson and Bailey Zimmerman.
