Vincent Mason

VINCENT MASON

Vincent Mason is having a moment and it’s only getting bigger! As a Spotify 2026 Artist to Watch, he’s already stacked up over 500 million streams thanks to the gold‑certified fan favorite “Hell Is a Dance Floor.” His debut album There I Go is packed with sharp lyrics and can’t‑shake‑’em hooks, and after two sold‑out headline tours, he’s hitting the road with Morgan Wallen.

Translation – now’s the time to see him live at CMA Fest.

WILLOW AVALON

Willow Avalon was born to make music. Her first word was literally “Elvis!” From piano lessons to teaching herself guitar, she’s turned life’s ups and downs into songs that feel honest, fearless and fun. Her debut album Southern Belle Raisin’ Hell and breakout single “Easy On The Eyes” have fans buzzing and her résumé already includes stops at the Grand Ole Opry and The Late Show.

Catch Willow at CMA Fest and fall in love with one of Country’s brightest new stars.

COWBOY CHURCH AT CMA FEST

After a powerful moment last year, Brandon Lake is returning to the Chevy Riverfront Stage at CMA Fest for “Cowboy Church!”

Not the kind of church with suits and pews… the kind for the wanderers, the worn-out, the misfits, the ones who aren’t sure they belong anywhere. If that’s you, you’re welcome here. Come as you are.

Sunday, June 7 at 9:30 AM | The Chevy Riverfront Stage | Open to the public
