More names will be revealed throughout the spring. See the CMA's press release here.
Jan. 14 , 2010: A lot of folks are calling to ask when the artist lineup for this year's Festival will be announced. The CMA released their first press release last year during the first week of March so we're expecting the same this year. Tickets for the Celebrity Softball game and Marty Stuart's Late Night Jam at the Ryman Auditorium on June 9, 2010 should go on sale in the middle of February. We'll keep you posted about these and other happenings concerning the 2010 CMA Music Festival.
Dec. 28, 2009: We are nearly sold out of floor level seating for the 2010 Festival. Currently we have 3 seats remaining in Section F Row 5 and a handful of Gold Circle seating for packages at the new Hilton Garden Inn Vanderbilt. Our lower level seating is in Section 133 (on the west side of LP Field so you're in the shade in the early evening and don't have the sun going down in your eyes).
Dec. 19, 2009: We're pleased to announce the addition of a lovely new hotel in a splendid location for our CMA Music Festival 2010 Packages. The Hilton Garden Inn Hotel is located at 1713 Broadway Avenue in midtown Nashville. The 2010 CMA Music Festival will be the inaugural one for the hotel and to commemorate this milestone we're matching Gold Circle tickets (Section B Row 33) with a limited number of our Hilton Garden packages. We also have a limited number of Section 134 Row B seats available at the Hilton Garden. Please call 615-383-3012 for more information.

December 14, 2009: We now have one remaining package at the 5-Star Hermitage hotel; this is a 5-night package for June 9-14, 2010 with Gold Circle seats in Section C Row 32. Please call 615-383-3012 for details. (Note: as of Dec. 16, 2009, we are sold out of Hermitage Hotel packages.)
December 13, 2009: Due to limited inventory, online orders for the Hermitage Hotel are no longer being taken. Please call 615-383-3012 for details on our two remaining packages for this Five-Star, Five-Diamond hotel in downtown Nashville (located within walking distance of the music venues). The packages feature Gold Circle seats in Section C row 32 and five nights (June 9-14, 2010) at the Hermitage.

These hotels are matched with seats in our favorite Section 134 or with upgrades on the floor to Section F, rows 4-6. Packages can be booked directly online.

August 3, 2009: BlueShoe Nashville's 2010 CMA Music Festival Packages are now online for viewing. You can see prices at our packages page. We're proud to once again be the exclusive provider of CMA Music Festival packages for the five-star Hermitage Hotel downtown and we're equally pleased to be able to offer our favorite Section 134 Lower Level seats. Section 134 is our favorite for a number of reasons, including the fact that you're in the shade in the early evening. For the first time in 2010 BlueShoe is featuring packages at the new Hampton Inn downtown on Fourth Avenue South. Lower level and floor level packages will be available for purchase online beginning August 6. If you're interested in a Gold Circle package, please call us directly at 615-383-3012.
July 17, 2009: We're pleased to feature a critique of the restaurant scene in Nashville from two charming Brits, John and Alice Jukes of Didcot, Oxfordshire. They traveled to Tennessee last month for a taste of the music and food in Memphis and Nashville. At BlueShoe's CMA Music Festival Open House on Sunday, June 14, John spoke so engagingly and elegantly about food, we asked him if he would put his thoughts on paper. He graciously accepted: you can read his essay on the home page of BlueShoe Cafe Guide to Nashville Dining.
June 15, 2009: The Festival ended last night well after midnight with rousing performances by Miranda Lambert, Sugarland, and Kenny Chesney. Looking ahead to the 2010 Festival? Our package prices for 2010 will be posted in the next few weeks.
June 12, 2009: The CMA has confirmed that the concert tonight at LP Field will be begin at 7:30 p.m. rather than 8 p.m. and Kid Rock has been added to the lineup!
June 12, 2009: LP Field was rocking last night for the CMA Music Festival, even though there was a delay because of the second storm of the day that blew into Nashville. The fans hung out in the concourse until the all clear signal was given. They were rewarded for their wait: Darius Rucker, Dierks Bentley, and Brad Paisley delivered wonderful performances that didn't finish until after 2 a.m. For the final number, Brad brought Dierks back on to help him toast the occasion with a splendid rendition of "Alcohol."
June 11, 2009: In typical Tennessee fashion, the weather turned dramatic this morning—for a little while. A severe thunderstorm blew into town just in time to delay the opening of the CMA Music Festival. Gretchen Wilson was set to kick off the performances at Riverfront Park at 10 a.m., but the show was postponed due to the storm. Everything got back on track after a bucket or two of rain was dropped. According to news reports, the music began at Riverfront about 30 minutes later than scheduled.
June 7, 2009: The CMA has just announced that Kenny Chesney will be performing on Sunday, June 14 at LP Field. What a way to close the Festival!
June 6, 2009: Taking a stroll on Lower Broadway, we could tell that the pace is picking up as Nashville prepares for next week's Festival. At Mike's Ice Cream Fountain, however, it looked like a lazy summer day:

June 5, 2009: Big news! Alan Jackson is celebrating his 20th anniversary in the music business by doing a free show on Wed., June 10 at the Cadillac Ranch on Lower Broadway in downtown Nashville. The show is scheduled for 8 p.m.. There is limited admission (one source says the Cadillac Ranch can hold about 1000 people) so wristbands for the show will be issued starting at 4:30 p.m. that afternoon. The line will begin to form much earlier than 4:30, but it's hard to estimate just how early you'll have to be there in order to secure one of those free prized wristbands. See details here.
June 1, 2009: We've added a new page aimed at giving you helpful information on the CMA Music Festival 2009, including maps and music schedules.

Scroll down to see the list (at the very top Trace Adkins' Fan Club is listed in booth 501.) There is also a nicely-compiled site called Goin to CMA Fest 2009 that includes a list of Fan Club Parties and special events like the GAC Kickoff Breakfast. This site appears to be the work of a CMA Music Festival fan who is coming to the Festival for their second year.
May 19 , 2009: Three weeks and counting until the CMA Music Festival opens its stages. We're excited that Wynonna, along with a special appearance of the Judds, is part of the 2009 lineup.
April 15, 2009: Here's the initial lineup for the nightly concerts (just posted on the CMA Music Festival's website. A note about surprises: there is a Festival tradition of surprise performers that show up to perform at the nightly concerts with no prior announcement. Last year on Thursday night, Rascal Flatts was the big surprise and that was followed up on Friday night by the stellar appearance of Keith Urban.
