Jason Aldean is among the lineup of superstars set to play the first night of CMA Fest in Nashville tonight (Thursday, June 9th) at Nissan Stadium. He has played the main stage for the past several years, and as Jason tells us, this Festival in particular is a very big deal for both artists and fans. “It has turned into this mega kind of giant thing over here at this stadium that's really cool and high-tech and, I mean, it's like a cutting-edge deal now. For a lot of these people, this is their vacation. Like I go (on) vacation, I go to the beach. These people go on vacation (and) they come here to see this and that's a big deal, so when we get the chance to go out and play for them you want to give them a good show and make it entertaining and make it worth their vacation, you know what I mean, so it's really exciting. It's really cool. I'm glad I get to be a part of it every year and hopefully they'll keep letting me come back.”
Joining Jason in tonight's Nissan Stadium lineup are Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, Darius Rucker, Carly Pearce, Cole Swindell, Gabby Barrett, Brothers Osborne, Brittney Spencer and Deana Carter.
