Gary Allan Kicks Off CMA Music Festival and Four Days of Free Star-Packed Concerts at the Chevrolet Riverfront Stage June 11-14 NASHVILLE – The 2015 CMA Music Festival is sure to have something for everyone with today’s announcement of performers who will take the Chevrolet™ Riverfront Stage. The lineup for the FREE daily concerts has something for all fans, regardless of what decade they came of age or whether they prefer whiskey-soaked ballads or sing-out-loud anthems.
Gary Allan will launch the Chevrolet Riverfront Stage shows Thursday, June 11 (10:00 AM/CDT). The free shows will happen every day from 10:00 AM-5:30 PM during the four-day event, happening Thursday through Sunday, June 11-14, in downtown Nashville.
“Gary is extremely popular with our fans and I can’t think of a better artist to jump-start four days of non-stop, free music,” said Sarah Trahern, CMA Chief Executive Officer. “We have an amazing lineup and when you consider that admission is free, there is no reason not to come down and enjoy everything this Festival has to offer.”
Performers scheduled to appear on the Chevrolet Riverfront Stage include Allan, Rodney Atkins, Big Smo, Craig Wayne Boyd, Kristian Bush, Jason Michael Carroll, Craig Campbell, Dan + Shay, Diamond Rio, Charles Esten, Jack Ingram, Lonestar, Dustin Lynch, Maddie & Tae, Scotty McCreery, Ashley Monroe, Montgomery Gentry, Lorrie Morgan, Parmalee, Eric Paslay, Kellie Pickler, Cassadee Pope, RaeLynn, Restless Heart, Chase Rice, Maggie Rose, Canaan Smith, Corey Smith, The Cadillac Three, The Swon Brothers, Thompson Square, Tanya Tucker, Phil Vassar, Clay Walker, Aaron Watson, and Darryl Worley. Katie Armiger will perform the National Anthem on opening day.
The official lineup was announced to CMA’s email newsletter and social media subscribers this morning, with a video directed by Ben Boutwell showing Chevrolet vehicles taking Country Music fans on road trips to downtown Nashville for the reveal. The video also featured a special appearance by Chevrolet Riverfront Stage opener Allan. Fans can follow the conversation and share their thoughts on the lineup with #ChevyCMA and view the video here.

Yes Mam. I still use the 24 hour clock at home and use it to write down the time to be somewhere. Just makes more sense to me than having to add am/pm. But, don't ask me about "bells"; the Navy never made any sense to me.....

The first and last acts get an hour and are probably considered the headliners, but if I were Gary Allan, I'm not so sure I would feel that way to start singing at 1000 hrs. (10 AM)

OK, NashvilleOverHere, I don't care if you are UK based: There still is NO "e" in LIGHTNING! Actually, I've seen M-G, they do put on a lively live show. There are a few other singers in there that I like, but the fans will have time to relax with a few others , before the energizer bunny hits the stage....
