The artists were terrific. I felt they tried to deliver. I did NOT like all the promotional stuff - seemed like paying $300 would mean we didn't have to be props. Then Darius playing a song OVER AGAIN and not singing, "If I told you" because you wanted TV things. Anyway, the venue was great. Carrie was phenomenal. Old Dominion and Dan&Shay excited everyone. Blake was cute as ever. Thomas Rhett a nice surprise. Dierks always a great pleasure. One thing - WHY SO FEW WOMEN. I'm starting to think this is a MALE CONCERT. booo Missed Little Big Town and others, but we understand you can only do so many. Really no complaints with the lineup besides lack of females. We love the time before the concert in the parking lot with our big group together most of all. THanks!

CMA Fest is a one of a kind event! There is so much to do and so many artist to see! This is my second year and it didn t disappoint. Nashville is an amazing city to hold the event as well. The people are so welcoming and everything is in close proximity. The only room for improvement is for the HGTV Lodge events. You need to arrive early to get in line, but it s very hot with no shade. You can t get out of line to get a water. Maybe having water for sale along the line area would be helpful.
I had the most AMAZING time at this year's CMA Festival!! I met and got to see ( upclose) lots of stars!! I have already made plans to go next year! This year I met some GREAT people along the way as well. Some of us even shared pictures of what we had taken, that way we could experience everything; even if we weren't there!! I would recommed this to every Country Music Fan and then some!! See ya in Nashville....................

I enjoyed going to the 2009 CMA fest again this year. It was so great to get to see all the different artist perform in the Titan Stadium. The riverwalk event was also very good with a variety of performers. It just gets bettter and better every year - look forward to going back in 2011.

If you are a fan of country music then this is a must for you. It is four nights of nothing but country music. If you have ever been to a rodeo in Texas it doesn't even compare with CMA Fest. Such huge talent for four full nights. Amazing!!!

The overall music festival was an event worth attending for music fans and a must for all country music fans! The concerts were outstanding - make sure to bring ear plugs if you ever want to hear again (especially if you go all four days.) I highly recommend coming after the gates are open just because the lines can be incredibly long - especially for females carrying purses, bags etc. The concerts were fantastic - by far my favorites were Luke Bryan - the most energy I've seen in any performance in a long time. He gives 110% to his fans! Eric Church was amazing - it was his first time at the CMA fest and I think he was more excited than the fans to be playing...he sounds way better in person than on the radio for sure. Carrie Underwood - always a great performance and voice; she does not dissappoint. Miranda Lambert - outstanding performer and a nice surprise to have Pistol Annies show up and do a couple of numbers...and then Jason Aldean - he's just hot hot and hot! and for the classics - Allen Jackson had the crowd dancing and singing the entire time. Definitely good times! We had floor seats; The sound is great but bring ear plugs.We were able to see a lot of the stars go to the center stage near us to record bits for the ABC special.

4-day ticket is such a bargain compared to single-night tickets. Too bad the event sells out so fast. I've got my 4-day tickets for 2013 already; can't wait. It will be my 5th year in a row. Outstanding line-up of artists. So glad we got to see Glen Campbell this year.

I started going to Fan Fair to be able to meet TRACE erery year. Now I have met more than I thought possible. The last 12 years I have met most of the top stars of country music, and on top of that a group of people from all over the states. Now I have a group of people I go to see too. Country music is the best. If you want to meet new people and of course all kinds of performers, this is the place to go. The concerts are the best of the year too. I mean come on, where you gonna go and see up to 25 top acts in one week?

Music sets at LP field were too short, stage turnover was TOO LONG, too many antics specifically for TV production takes away from music. When I started going to CMA there were 2 stages at LP field and Riverfront and continuous music. Now, you spend 4 hours at LP field to hear about 2 hours of actual performances. Best performance was Martina, worst was Taylor.

The concerts were awesome, however I was disappointed that Carrie Underwood didn't perform, I was really looking forward to seeing her. Also, I was really excited when Shania Twain came on, however quickly disappointed she didn't sing a song. Overall the night time was the best. I didn't get to see much of the daytime concerts because it was too hot to stay outside for long periods of time. If the weather was cooler I would have had a better experience at the Riverfront. Also Taylor Swift was hard to hear over her band. Overall the concerts were awesome, we had a really great time dancing and partying the nights away! Everything to do with the festival was in a great location and easily accessible. The audience interactivity was so much fun! I loved the dance for Brad Paisley and the flashlights for Rascal Flatts. Whoever thought of all those beach balls every night was awesome it was really really fun!!

I would definitely recommend attending the CMA music fest (formerly known as fan fair) to any country music fan. It is a 4-day event of non-stop country music. There is something to do from the early morning hours until well into the night. Nashville is a great city and very welcoming. It is the best value for any country concert that you will ever attend. As an added bonus you have the opportunity to interact/meet your favorite starts and buying the 4-day pass gives you access to the photo lane. This gives everyone the opportunity to feel as if they are in the front row.

This was our 4th year going to CMA Fest and it was amazing as usual. There were great surprises and we'd go again in a heartbeat. The only this is during the breaks between artists it takes several minutes to set up the stage for the next act and there's really nothing to fill the time with. Sometimes another artist will do an acoustic set to kill time.

The 2011 CMA Music Festival was something on my bucket list. I've always wanted to attend, but just never got the chance. It was worth every penny! Four of my friends went and we shared a room and all the expenses so it's a very affordable trip. And the memories we made won't be forgotten anytime soon. We're all still smiling ear to ear over the experience. We have all made a pact to make this an annual trip. This year we only attended two-nights and we've agreed to do the 4-nights in 2012.

My boyfriend and I have atttended the CMA Festival two years and counting. This will be our third year. I save up for our tickets all year, and I buy some of the more expensive seats. We are always in the lower level and usually the $200 seats. I live very close to Nashville, and this event is amazing and really defines my town. I always buy the four day full event passes and DEFINATELY buy the parking pass for LP Field. Always look at where you can park ahead of time on the internet for during the day, because they are building the new convention center behind the Bridgestone Arena and it really makes the parking for the daytime events a complete MESS. Also, we've been in the convention center, and that is the place to see the stars upclose and get out of the heat. We passed Gretchen Wilson in her truck, and we also got autographs from Gloriana as they were walking off the stage from signing autographs. We didn't stand in line either, they just made a path and as they were walking they just kept signing! We've also visited the photo lines and that was pretty awesome. In my opinion, I'd rather go to the photo lines the last minute, instead of some people would rather wait and stand in line the whole concert and miss everything just so they can get a few pictures. Oh, by the way, definately print out all the events and plan for what you want to attend because there is so much going on all day. I only wish Taylor Swift would've performed on the big stage. We went to high school with her and it'd be nice to see her up there.

The stars are great, you get to see sooo many stars and listen to amazing music. You also get a bunch of free stuff during the day. It was just all around a good time :)

This event is amazing every year, we came from the UK and we had our tickets on the will call system, it was very easy to collect tickets, went to the Sommett Centre on Broadway Nashville and got our tickets no problem. Every country music fan should attend this event it is the best ever. This is a great meeting place for fans from all over the world to meet and have some country fun, in good ole Tennessee. Would recommend this event highly and when we go again I will use ticket master to get my tickets.

We have done this several times. Every time was different . A lot depends on who your with the weather and artists. Seems like they push the up and coming more. Lots of very young people here. My biggest complaint was people buying nose bleed seats and then coming down and filling seats in the 300 dollar range hoping no one shows. Why am I paying this amount if others don t? Why buy a souvenir cup if you can t use it all four nights? You should be aloud to bring it in empty. And instead of screaming radio persons why not country comedy in between sets. Thank you.

This is my third year at CMA fest and the lineup was amazing this year. Love seeing the performers progress from Chevy Riverfront to Nissan. First night Darius Rucker slayed it... second night...Luke Combs (personal favorite) slayed it.....third night....Keith Urban slayed it and the final night goes to Luke... kept playing and no one was leaving. As usual it was very hot but they do a great job with the hydration stations and the cold packs. The clear plastic backpacks was a great addition. AMAZING.

For the first attending I think it went pretty good. We only attended for one day and the awards. I was hoping for more well known artist booths in the Fan FairX building and didn t care for all the shopping booths. I had heard good things about the Durango stage from years past however they didn t have it this year. I really enjoyed the Country Forever Stage and the m&g I had won. The event staff were very nice and helpful for a first timer. The only suggestion I would have is more of the legend country artist performing and booths for m&g s and autograph sessions.

11 stages around town. All walking distance. Day concerts were fantastic and the 4 nightly concerts at the Nissan Stadium were 5 star! An absolutely incredible experience as a surprise for my husband's 70th Birthday! Everything about Nashville was a joy. Beautiful City, Grand Ole Opry was a memorable night with Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins, Oakridge Boys, Gatlin Brothers, etc. Keith Urban was the highlight for us at the Stadium. He, Brad Paisley and Little Big Town left everything they had on the stage! All performers were incredible (Trace Adkins, Lady Antebellum, Michael Ray, Kelsea Ballerini, and on and on . . .) We had a 4 Day Gold Circle Pass.

I went to the CMA Festival hoping to get some autographs and at the least a few pictures. I only got a few of Blake Shelton's backside when he got off his bus.i waited in the burning hot sun for 3 hours, needed to go to the restroom but would not dare leave so I would not miss him and when he finally appeared, he held his head down, would not look at the fans and there were fans there with his albums, His glossy pictures, that was dying to get an autograph. I say shame on a person when they get that big that he ducks and hides from the people that made him a star. On the other hand, I praise Zac Brown for going out into the audience and taking time to shake hands and smile at his fans. I only wish I had been one of them. He thanked his fans for taking money out of their pockets to change his life. Now that is a star to look up to and support. He had not forgotten where he came from.

1st time at CMA Festival and it was amazing! If you are a country music fan this is a must do event! Highly recommend staying for all 4 nights. Concerts at LP field were unbelievable. Like listening to your favorite country music radio station live! Multiple artists with shorter sets so get to hear a lot of songs you know. Great crowd. Friendly town. Riverfront and Budlight stages had great performers too. Live music everywhere. Will not disappoint. (Also lots of ticket vendors on the street so should have no problem getting tix last minute)

I love going to the Cma Fest. But they can keep the rock acts away from LP Field. Lenny played a longer set than the country stars did. And they were the ones I went to see. This year it seemed there was alot of new talent. I am more into the established acts.

My Family & I could not have had a better time, something for everyone, my 9 year old son standed in the kids zone so much the volunteers knew him. The LP field show were fantastic, every star gave us a great show, even on Sunday when rain shorted the show they did all they could to give us our $$$ worth. Will not be my last time !!!!!!!!!!!

This is my first trip out to the CMA fest in Nashville, the festival was well organized and there was lots to do. Unfortunately one night Lenny Kravitz came out on stage and played to long and most of the country music fans did not know his songs. Also, for some odd reason he flipped off the fans. Don't invite him back--I would rather have had Keith Urban play more before his unbelievable exit from the Stadium. It was quite an experience to be there. If you go I may suggest that you purchase tickets for the CMA awards held live at the Bridgestone Center.

There is so much to do, so many country artists to see and get autographs from. ITS UNFORGETTABLE! You walk around the streets of nashville going to different stages and vendors all day up until its time for the big show...then you head over to LP field and PARTY HARD!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought the CMA music Fest was excellent. All the concerts were great even in the heat. I truly enjoyed seeing all the stars at Fan Fair and getting autographs. We all had an unforgettable experience and will definately be going next year.

This was a fairly small intimate setting with top artists performing and doing meet/greets. It was very well organized. Great idea having us fill out questions to get ticket to meet artist. It was fair to everyone and made a lot of people very happy. This was also well-timed and at an awesome location. We were comforatble, got great food/drinks and still had time to get to LP Field for more great music. I truly wish there could be more of this type of setting during CMA Fest. The rest of CMA Fest was incredible, too. The shows at LP Field and Riverfront Park were wonderful! Kudos to the crewies for keeping things going with back to back acts!

What a fan friendly event, prices for the concerts at L.P. Field were very reasonable but the sound system needs some work. We were in the reserved seats in the "upper bowl" and all we heard were echos of the music. There was a great line up every night! The free concerts at The Riverfront Stage were awesome as well. Just too darn hot and humid! What a great atmosphere tho. Someone should sell misters squirt bottles there. We couldn't find any. Make sure you bring sun screen as there isn't much shade at the Riverfront. The local and historic bars in the area were awesome and a great place to cool off. My two personal favorites were Legends Bar and Whiskey Bent. Great bands and staff at both places. Make sure you look for any band that Lefty Furguson is playing in. He played at many of the bars we went to and was very talented and very fan friendly. He is a talented and nice guy trying to reach that dream like so many of the folks there are trying to achieve. My advice is to go a few days before the event starts or stay a few days after to ge a feel for the area when it is not so crowded. (we went 4 days early and really learned to appreciate the quiet and have the chance to learn the lay out of the event) The local people of Nashville were all very friendly and considering everything they had just gone thru with the floods, very hospitable. All in all, 2 thumbs way up!

Me and my husband went to this and had a blast. We are going to try to go again next year and the next and so on. We are going to try to talk some of our friends into going next year with us. We also did the CMT awards and will be back in Nov. for the CMA awards. Loved Nashville !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only down fall to this was we got Club seats and the lady at the door wasn't do a good job at keeping people out that didn't have club seats. This should be watched a lot closer then it is......

The CMA fest at LP field in Nashville was amazing. Not only was the concert just amazing in itself, but the field all lit up at night was the best part. The crowd was awesome. The show was sold out. A TON of work and thought was put into the show and It is BY FAR the best concert Ive ever been to. I will go back next year for the whole weekend!!! THank you Nashville and thank you CMA!!!

A native Nashvillian I have attended hundreds of shows...I sat in upper level GA last night and the sound was awful. If CMA can't afford decent audio they need to not sell the GA seats.

My musical jaunt from the UK was a solo trip to celebrate a big birthday and it was a most memorable, if very busy, week. I took some fantastic photo-shots and as a one-time musician myself, also privileged to have met Reed Hess, a local jobbing journeyman musician, resident in my hotel restaurant, in addition to seeing dozens of better known acts throughout the week. I even got to meet Jo Dee's Mum at a JDM fans' meet. Downsides were missing Brad Paisley the first night . He was on too late for me after a storm-delayed performance - I was still jet-lagged. And, now listen-up to this, a truly unbelievable incident to bear for a polite, educated, sober Englishman like myself; being refused a beer on the LP Field concourse for not being able to produce my passport. Astonishing. The Tennessee alcohol laws are unfathomable. Is this a hangover from Prohibition ? It was made all the harder to take by bumping into an otherwise friendly but very drunk 17 year-old American boy more than 40 years my junior. I have yet to recieve an explanation from the CMA festival CEO, the Mayor of Nashville and the Governor of Tennessee, to all of whom I wrote on my return to the UK. I did explain to all three however that despite this hiccup I can't wait to return to Nashville, that is if my wife gives her permission again !

For years we come to Nashville now to attend the 4 day CMA Music Fest, the event formerly known as Fan Fair. We're Swiss, so this means quite a tiresome journey needing a lot of our vacation days. Needless to say that we wouldn't do it if it wasn't so special. Where else do you hear all the big shots of country music, (e.g. Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, Montgomery Gentry, Brooks and Dunn, Martina Mc Bride, Taylor Swift, just to name a few). Plus you have chance to see them close, can take pictures in the photo line and if you're lucky or early enough you even get chances for meets and greets with your favourite artist including autographs. Just don't forget to have your camera ready at all time, a pencil in your purse and keep your eyes open. Then you may be as lucky as I was. I litterally ran into Jack Ingram just before he was brought to the stadium for the concert. The next day I saw Martina McBride just passing in front of me.

This was my 5th year in a row to go, and I just HAVE to be there...there are so many artists and several places to see the music, you just can't do it all...the concerts at night are the best. I have had seats in the Gold section, so you are really close, and seats on the floor, still awesome and dancing in the aisles! I have also sat on the risers and you can see the whole stage, and on the screens, but it is a lot less rowdy! The people working there are pretty nice and the air conditioned buses that take you to the field are nice, and things run smoothly. The only negative was the first night, in the middle of REBA, they said a storm and lightning was coming and they evacuated the whole stadium...felt like cattle up around the food areas, so we left. They did resume the show 2 hours later, much to my suprise) but that was too long to wait for a maybe. The city of Nashville realizes this is a big money maker for the city, and everyone goes out of their way to please the fans. If you stay downtown, you don't need a car, but rooms are very expensive! Otherwise, rooms by the airport are reasonable, and parking about $10 a day. If you belong to any artist's fan club, try to go to one of the fan club parties... you will get to meet them, pictures,and spec merchandise.

Rarely do you get the opportunity to see most of your favorite acts in concert in one place, but that is the case with CMA Music Festival. And what better place to have a country music festival than the home of country music Nashville, TN? Tons of great country music in a historical setting is an unbeatable combination. Definitely a can't miss for true country music fans.

It's been five time for me at the CMA Fest in Nashville, always the same place but never the same thing, it's amazing, a lot of country stars, special events, hospitality, kindness and smiles. I'm waiting for the next year to live again and again this moment with my friends (every year almost 15 persons), I love bluegrass and country music and Nashville is the place to be... See ya...

The concerts were absolutely brilliant with a top line up of performers. The venue was excellent and we would reccemmend the CMA Music Festival to anyone with an interest in country music. If you want to take photographs, buy a four day ticket and take a long lens with you. The photo line in front of stage is an excellent idea.

CMA Music Fest 2009 was a country music lovers dream. So many thing happening all at once, sometimes it was hard to decide what to see and what to skip. The only downside was day one, two songs into Reba's set, and LP Field was cleared because of approaching storms. We left because three separate security people told us that because of a noise ordinance after midnight, that the show would not resume. The following morning we found out that the show did indeed resume, and continued until after 2 am. Employees there need to all be on the same page...a little communication error there caused alot of people to go home and miss Darius Rucker, Dierks Bentley and Brad Paisley.

This was my first time to the CMA fest and had an absolute blast. Sure do hope to go again next year. The only thing I would do differently would be to stay in a hotel where there is a shuttle to downtown since I am horrible with directions. Great Shows by everyone we saw !!!! My favorite was Montgomery Gentry.

I have traveled for more than 30 states in USA, traveled more than 4 different continents... and I have never been in a such great event like this one.....I was impressive with the city, how easy was to get close with the singers, events in the streets, convention center, at river, on local bars and at Field .... shows on everywhere you go.....If there is something you should not missing in this life is the CMA event in Nashville! Such a great city, such a lovely peoples everywhere you go!...such an amazing event... PS: I loved so much that I already bought my 2010 ticket! Sincerely, Silvana
