The countdown to the Music Event of the Summer – CMA Fest – is on!

Hosted by Dierks Bentley and Elle King, the can’t-miss special will air on August 3 and feature superstar collaborations and exclusive performances all filmed during the 49th CMA Fest, which took place over four days in Nashville this past June.
The show will feature performances from over 30 artists, including Jason Aldean, Kelsea Ballerini, Brothers Osborne, Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, Russell Dickerson, Parker McCollum, Old Dominion, Thomas Rhett, Carrie Underwood and more.

CMA Fest will also include star-studded, one-of-a-kind collaborations from Dierks Bentley and Billy Ray Cyrus, Wynonna Judd and Carly Pearce, Dustin Lynch featuring MacKenzie Porter, Cole Swindell and Lainey Wilson, Elle King and Ashley McBryde, Lady A featuring BRELAND, and Zac Brown Band with Darius Rucker.

The first-time hosts are thrilled to bring CMA Fest to viewers across the country.

“I think Elle brings so much to the table,” shared Bentley. “Onstage she’s just a riot and also super talented – a great combination of talent with comedic humor. A lot of spontaneous moments between the two of us and just a lot of laughs.”

“I am co-hosting this whole shebang,” laughed King. “Not only do I get to do it with my buddy Dierks, I also get to see all these incredible performances and be a part of a big party!”

“When Dierks and Elle first performed together at Fest in 2016, I knew they had something special,” said “CMA Fest” Executive Producer Robert Deaton. “The festival itself may be over, but thanks to these two, along with a solid slate of performances and special collaborations, the party continues in homes across America. It was a fun challenge to think differently with our setup these last two years, but it felt great to be back with a full house at the stadium.”

The three-hour primetime special airs on Wednesday, August 3rd at 8/7c on ABC and will be available the next day on Hulu.
