Jason Aldean joins the who’s-who of country stars set to play Nissan Stadium during CMA Fest 2018

ABC/Image Group LA Three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year Jason Aldean is joining the star-studded lineup of nightly concerts during CMA Fest this year. The “You Make It Easy” hitmaker will close out the first show on Thursday, June 7 at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium. 

We’re also finding out who’ll kick off each evening’s entertainment by singing the national anthem. The Oak Ridge Boys will do the honors on Thursday, accompanied by the Marine Corps Band New Orleans. Viral video star Mason Ramsey steps up to the mic on Friday, with newcomer Jillian Jacqueline following on Saturday. Legendary country comedian Ray Stevens wraps things up on Sunday. 

A limited number of four-day passes to the concerts at Nissan Stadium are still available, with more information at CMAFest.com/tickets. The entire spectacle will be recorded for a massive prime-time special that will air later in the year on ABC.
