That’s a wrap on the 51st annual CMA Fest. With stages coming down and roads reopening, we’re reflecting on a few of this year’s highlights.

  • Special guests | You never know who is going to show up at the nightly concerts. This year’s festival “had some help” with surprise guests Post Malone, Blake Shelton, and Billy Gibbons — and that was just on Thursday night.
  • Watch | Scroll through the Country Music Association’s Instagram for more festival moments, including Shaboozey’s full capacity crowd at the Good Molecules Reverb Stage and Jelly Roll’s headlining set on Saturday night.
