The wait is FINALLY over!
After weeks of anticipation and teasers all over social media, the Country Music Association (CMA) has finally released the first round of performers for the 2018 CMA Music Festival.
This year’s lineup is far from star-studded, as country music heavy-hitters Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley, and Blake Shelton are headlining the nightly concerts at Nissan Stadium with special guests Lauren Alaina and Bebe Rexha.
