Fans packed out Nissan Stadium last night (June 7) for the final night of CMA Fest.

Clay Walker was first to take the stage, kicking off the night with a stadium wide singalong of “If I Could Make A Living.” He moved through “Live Until I Die,” “Won’t Be Lonely Long,” “This Woman and This Man” and “What’s It to You.”

Russell Dickerson was next up, bringing his signature high energy to a hometown crowd. He kicked off with “Blue Tacoma” and followed that with “Worth Your Wild” and “Every Little Thing.” “This is my 12th CMA Fest, and its my first time getting to headline Nissan Stadium at CMA Fest. Thank you for sticking with us,” he shared ahead of playing his breakout single, “Yours.” Dickerson surprised the crowd with special guest Fetty Wap to perform their recent collaboration, “Boots.” He closed out his set with “Happen To Me.”

Over on the platform stage, rising artist Kat Luna offered “That Girl” and a Spanglish rendition of “I Will Always Love You,” which she is set to release later this month.

Back on the main stage, Bailey Zimmerman emerged with “Chevy Silverado.” He called Brandon Lake to the stage for “Just Believe.” The crowd roared as he played a cover of Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb,” and his own hits “Where It Ends” and “Rock and a Hard Place.”

The Jack Warff Band took over the platform stage for a dynamic performance of “Burnin’ It Down” and “Washed.”

Riley Green, host of the CMA Fest Presented By SoFi TV special, was next to the stage. Fans jumped to their feet as he kicked off with “Different ‘Round Here” and “There Was This Girl.” Green slowed the tempo down with “Jesus Saves” and “Don’t Mind If I Do” with special guest Hannah McFarland. He quickly picked the energy back up with his recent chart-topper “Change My Mind,” “Worst Way” and “I Wish Grandpas Never Died.”

Back on the platform stage, Laci Kaye Booth gave a standout performance of “True Love” and “Daddy’s Mugshot.” Booth unveiled her Love Ain’t For The Faint Of Heart album last week, set for release Sept. 18.

Glen Powell made an appearance alongside Green to introduce the next guest, HARDY.

Fans erupted as he kicked off with “McArthur,” before moving through “.30-06,” “Favorite Country Song” and “UNAPOLOGETICALLY COUNTRY AS HELL.” He lit up the stadium with “Give Heaven Some Hell” before venturing through the crowd for “God’s Country.” He made his way back to the stage for “Truck Bed” before closing out with “Bottomland.”

Stephen Wilson Jr. took to the platform stage, sharing “This is my first stadium show. I’ve always been a bashful kid, and I never would’ve dreamed this dream, but my dreams out dreamt me a long time ago,” before treating fans to “Cuckoo” and “Gary.”

To close out the night, Luke Bryan took the stage, with a hit-filled performance of “That’s My Kinda Night,” “Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye,” “Country and She Knows It,” “Love You, Miss You, Mean It” and “Play It Again.” He called George Birge to the stage for a rendition of their recent collaboration, “Ride, Ride, Ride,” before closing out with “Kick The Dust Up” and “Country Girl Shake It For Me.”

CMA Fest will return to Nashville in June 2027.
