More about CMA Festival and its history
The CMA Music Festival began as the Fan Fair, a collaboration between WSM radio and Country Music Association 1972, quickly becoming one of the largest events in the country, with artists such as Paul McCartney and Garth Brooks performing at the festival in its initial years.
The festival was initially organized by the major recording labels, who did not pay artists to perform at the event, resulting in a negative perception of the event within both artist and fan circles.
In 2004, the CMA renamed the festival to CMA Music Fest to reinvent the event and deal with its negative perception. The event has seen sold-out shows since then, with the 2015 event drawing crowds from 39 non-US countries.
