CMA Fest
The COUNTRY MUSIC ASSOCIATION announced TODAY (3/31) that its annual four-day CMA FEST event, which had been set for JUNE, has been cancelled.
“After careful deliberation, and in following the latest guidance from national, state and local authorities, we are sad to announce that CMA FEST will not take place in 2020,” CMA said in a statement. “We know how special this festival is for Country music fans around the globe and that many will be disappointed by this decision. As the world is still greatly affected by the spread of COVID-19, we cannot in good conscience risk the health and wellbeing of our fans, artists, staff and Country music community.”
Purchased four-day passes can be applied to next year’s event — set for JUNE 10-13, 2021 — or refunded.
“We greatly appreciate your understanding and patience, as our actions are always in the best interest of our Country music community,” CMA’s statement read. “In the coming weeks and months, we will continue to bring Country fans and artists together to celebrate the unique spirit and sense of unity that is at the heart of what CMA FEST stands for. We will also share information about future CMA events and ways to support those within our community affected by the COVID-19 pandemic."
