Fans will soon have the opportunity to relive – or have their first experience with – this year’s CMA Fest.

This year’s performers will soon appear on screens in the US and Australia, with CMA Fest Presented by SoFi heading to ABC and Hulu in the US and, for Australian fans, airing this Friday, 26 June, at 12 pm on the streaming platform Stan.

Riley Green and Good Morning America host Lara Spencer will host the special brought together by the Country Music Association and ABC. The three-hour television event contains unforgettable experiences, collaborations, and other standout moments from this year’s festival, held in Nashville earlier this month.

Featured performers on the special include – and aren’t limited to – Bailey Zimmerman, Blake Shelton, The Band Perry, Carly Pearce, Cody Johnson, Ella Langley, the reunited Florida Georgia Line, HARDY, Jason Aldean, Jelly Roll, Jordan Davis, Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson, Luke Bryan, Riley Green, Shaboozey, Tim McGraw, Tucker Wetmore, Zach Top, and more.

In addition to the stream of this year’s festival heading to our screens, CMA Fest has locked in next year’s event. The 2026 festival – its 54th edition – will return to Nashville on Thursday, 10 June, and run until Sunday, 13 June.

CMA Fest is the longest-running country music festival in the world, with four days and nights of epic performances from the genre’s biggest names, rising stars, and emerging acts.

This year’s event went a little bit more Aussie, with the launch of G’DAY: Australia to the World, a brand-new showcase spotlighting homegrown country talent during Music City’s busiest week.

Hosted by Australian singer-songwriter Brittany Elise – now based in Nashville – the event platformed artists such as Tyla Rodrigues, Austin Mackay, Tori Darke, Chloe Styler, and more.

“G’DAY was created to showcase the incredible depth of talent coming out of Australia and to celebrate the strong connection between the Australian and American country music communities,” Elise commented in a statement.

She continued, “CMA Fest provides the perfect backdrop to introduce this new showcase and create opportunities for Australian artists to share their music on a global stage.”
