CMA Fest 2021 Postponement

After careful thought and much consideration, the Country Music Association announced today that CMA Fest is cancelled for 2021. The serves as the second year in a row that CMA Fest is cancelled due to complications & challenges resulting from COVID-19.

The formal statement from the association reads as follows:
After thoughtful deliberation, we are saddened to share that CMA Fest will not take place in 2021. We know our fans near and far have hoped that the festival could safely return this summer, and while we are encouraged to see COVID-19 vaccines becoming more widely available, we still face several challenges that prevent us from bringing our fans around the world the CMA Fest experience they have come to expect. But rest assured, we have already started planning what will be the most EPIC celebration of Country Music next summer. Mark your calendars for CMA Fest June 9-12, 2022!
