The CMA Music Festival (originally called Fan Fair) was created in 1972 to give fans an opportunity to get up close and personal with their favorite country artists, who perform, sign autographs and pose for photos with admirers.

The event includes nightly concerts at LP Field, non-stop music on dual stages during the day, autograph sessions, shopping, lifestyle exhibits, sporting activities, family activities, surprise artist appearances and more. Afterhours fun is provided by the clubs and bars of downtown Nashville.

Four-day ticket packages are available now through the CMA Fest website or Ticketmaster (LiveDaily's parent company).

A separate ticket is required for the June 7 CMA Celebrity Close Up sessions hosted by Great American Country personality Lorianne Crook at the Ryman Auditorium. The sessions give fans an opportunity to submit questions to celebrity panels moderated by Crook.

All the performers who participate in the CMA Music Festival donate their time. Half of the net proceeds from the event go to the CMA-created "Keep the Music Playing" charity program to support music education in Metro Nashville public schools.

As in past years, festival performances will be filmed for a two-hour, ABC-TV special to air later in the summer.
