CMA Fest Reveals Lineup for Star-Studded TV Special

CMA Fest Reveals Lineup for Star-Studded TV Special

We now know all of the artists performing for the televised CMA Fest TV special, CMA Fest Presented by SoFi. The three-hour show, airing on June 26 on ABC, will be hosted by Cody Johnson and Ashley McBryde.

Johnson will perform both “The Fall” and “She Hurts Like Tequila,” the latter a collaboration with Carín León. McBryde will perform “Rattlesnake Preacher.”

Other artists who will be featured during the three-hour special include Scotty McCreery‘s “Five More Minutes,” Brooks & Dunn‘s “Play Something Country” with Lainey Wilson, Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll’s “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” Ella Langley‘s “Weren’t For the Wind,” Keith Urban’s “Straight Line” and more.

Johnson is eager to host the TV special this year, especially with McBryde, who hosted last year with Jelly Roll.

“CMA Fest is a big deal,” Johnson tells The Tennessean. “But I’ve got Ashley McBryde by my side, so it makes me feel a little more confident. She’s already been here. This is her second time.”

With plenty of artists to choose from, Johnson is honored that the Country Music Association tapped him to host the primetime special.

“This is not just a festival that there are a certain, select few acts,” Johnson acknowledges. “This is pretty much the who’s who in country music. So getting to be seen, hosting, and I’m getting to perform too, it’s really cool. It’s a big honor. And I think every artist you talk to probably says something similar.”

See a complete lineup for the CMA Fest TV special below. The show will air on June 26 at 8:00 PM ET, and stream the next day on Hulu. Find more information at CMAFest.com.
