\n\t\u201cWe are on a mission to make sure Saturday night is the loudest night of all of CMA Fest,\u201d said Old Dominion<\/a> lead vocalist Matthew Ramsey, as the six-time CMA vocal group of the year winners sailed through songs including \u201cOn a Boat That Day\u201d and \u201cOne Man Band\u201d on night three of CMA Fest on Saturday (June 8).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe country music kept flowing during day three of CMA Fest, as tens of thousands of music fans descended on Nissan Stadium, with Saturday night offering up arguably the most star-studded lineup of each of the evenings.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe roster of artists included reigning CMA entertainer of the year and newly-minted member<\/a> of the Grand Ole Opry Lainey Wilson<\/a>, CMA new artist of the year winner and four-time Billboard Country Airplay chart-topper Jelly Roll<\/a>, as well as two-time CMA entertainer of the year Keith Urban<\/a>, and \u201cBoys Back Home\u201d singer Dylan Marlowe. The lineup also highlighted performances from several Black country artists, including Grammy-nominated husband-and-wife duo The War and Treaty<\/a>, in addition to \u201cBuckle Bunny\u201d hitmaker Tanner Adell<\/a> and Brittney Spencer<\/a>, who both saw a fresh wave of acclaim this year as contributors to Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s Cowboy Carter<\/em> project.<\/p>\n

\n\tGrand Ole Opry member Terri Clark<\/a>, who opened the evening, recalled first attending CMA Fest in 1987, when it was still called Fan Fair. \u201cI can\u2019t tell you how much it makes my heart burst seeing how much Fan Fair has grown over the years,\u201d she said midway through a set that included hits \u201cBetter Things to Do,\u201d \u201cI Just Wanna Be Mad\u201d and \u201cI Wanna Do It All\u201d (which segued into a version of Sheryl Crow\u2019s \u201cAll I Wanna Do\u201d).<\/p>\n

\n\tIndeed, CMA Fest has seen a meteoric rise since its inaugural year in 1972, when it attracted 5,000 fans to Nashville\u2019s Municipal Auditorium. Now, the festival dominates downtown Nashville each summer, attracting tens of thousands of fans to see performances from hundreds of country artists representing a vast sonic spectrum, and ranging from aspiring newcomers to many of the genre\u2019s biggest artists.<\/p>\n
