CMA Fest dates back to its 1972 origins as Fan Fair. The 2020 edition of CMA Fest was scheduled for June 4-7. The event returns next year, June 10-13, 2021.
Whether you planned to attend CMA Fest for the first time, or you have attended many times throughout the last 48 years, we know how special this festival is for country music fans around the globe and that many will be disappointed by this decision," a statement from the Country Music Association read. "As the world is still greatly affected by the spread of COVID-19, we cannot in good conscience risk the health and well-being of our fans, artists, staff and country music community."
CMA Fest tickets for next year's event are available here.
