Country music's biggest festival has been cancelled.
CMA Fest in Nashville was originally scheduled for June 4-7 and the event has just been cancelled due to the current coronavirus pandemic.
"After careful deliberation, and in following the latest guidance from national, state and local authorities, we are sad to announce that CMA Fest will not take place in 2020. Whether you planned to attend CMA Fest for the first time, or you have attended many times throughout the last 48 years, we know how special this festival is for country music fans around the globe and that many will be disappointed by this decision. As the world is still greatly affected by the spread of COVID-19, we cannot in good conscience risk the health and wellbeing of our fans, artists, staff and country music community."
If you had purchased four-day passes for the festival this year, they will be honored for the 2021 event that will occur from June 10-13, 2021. Refunds are also available upon request if your passes were purchased through Ticketmaster or the CMA Fest Box Office.
