CMA Fest will be hosted by Dierks Bentley and Elle King on ABC.
The Country Music Association made the announcement early Thursday morning (May 26), which confirms that the much-anticipated primetime concert special will air on Wednesday, August 3 at 8/7c.
CMA Fest, the summer’s biggest music festival, is filmed in Nashville over the four-day event. It runs from Thursday to Sunday, June 9-12.
This will be Bentley’s and King’s CMA Fest debut.
They will also perform at Nissan Stadium on June 12.
The announcement comes weeks after the duo released “Worth A Shot.”
Downtown Nashville hosts hundreds of CMA Fest acts.
The musicians donate their time and a part of ticket sales to the CMA Foundation’s music education programs.
