Tune in for CMA Fest On ABC Tonight: Photo Preview of All The Performances!

The Country Music Association has revealed performances featured in its “CMA Fest” primetime television special, airing Wednesday, July 19 at 8/7c on ABC and available next day on Hulu. “CMA Fest” is the country Music Event of Summer.

Hosted by Dierks Bentley, Elle King and Lainey Wilson, the three-hour concert event features can’t-miss collaborations and unforgettable performances that took place during the 50th anniversary of CMA Fest just last month in Nashville.

The Travel Addict was on hand for all the performances that will be airing on the primetime special. We thought it would be fun to share photos of each one of the artist’s sets that will be broadcasted on ABC.
