Randy Travis returns to CMA Fest, others also announced
The excitement builds for 2008 CMA Music Festival as Trace Adkins, Bucky Covington, Billy Ray Cyrus, Sara Evans, Little Big Town, Montgomery Gentry, Craig Morgan, James Otto, Kenny Rogers and Randy Travis are added to the performance lineup for the Nightly Concerts on the VAULT Concert Stages at LP Field. The four-day festival takes place Thursday through Sunday, June 5-8, in Downtown Nashville.
"We are thrilled to host these great performers at CMA Music Festival this year," said Tammy Genovese, CMA Chief Executive Officer. "This group is a great mix of today's hottest Country radio artists and legends. We know our attendees are going to enjoy them all."
In addition to achieving Country Music success, many of these artists have also become television favorites. Adkins was the runner-up on the Donald Trump-fronted "Celebrity Apprentice" this year. Cyrus currently stars in Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana" series (and upcoming movie) with his daughter Miley Cyrus, and will host "Nashville Star" this summer. In 2006, Covington was a finalist on "American Idol" while Evans participated in "Dancing with the Stars." The legendary Rogers headlined all five "The Gambler" television movies in the '80s and '90s. Both he and Travis have appeared on the television and silver screens in a variety of acting roles.
Travis will be making his first performance at CMA Music Festival in 10 years. He last performed at the event in 1998, when it was called by its original name, Fan Fair, and was held at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds
Other artists already confirmed to appear at LP Field include Rodney Atkins, Faith Hill, Alan Jackson, Jewel, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Kellie Pickler, Sugarland, Taylor Swift, Josh Turner, Carrie Underwood and Dwight Yoakam. Surprise guests have also become a hallmark of the Festival, enriching an already star-packed lineup.
