Nashville’s CMA Fest 2025 delivered a star-studded night at Nissan Stadium on June, but not without a twist—weather delays kept fans on edge before the music finally took center stage. Despite the rain, the energy soared as Keith Urban closed out the evening with a powerhouse set, igniting the crowd with hits like “Long Hot Summer,” “Straight Line,” and “Blue Ain’t Your Color.” Urban’s electric guitar solos and charismatic stage presence turned the rain-soaked night into a triumphant celebration.
Earlier in the night, Cody Johnson brought his signature Texas grit to the main stage. Wearing his trademark white cowboy hat, Johnson captivated the audience with “The Fall,” his ACM Song of the Year “Dirt Cheap,” and a crowd-pleasing duet with Carín León on “Hurts Like Tequila.” He wrapped up with the multi-platinum “‘Til You Can’t,” thanking fans for their unwavering support.
The unpredictable Nashville weather couldn’t dampen the spirit of country music fans, who packed the stadium for a lineup that also featured Kelsea Ballerini, Noah Kahan, and surprise moments from Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll. With Keith Urban set to return to Nashville for his “High and Alive” tour this October, Music City is already buzzing for the next big show—even if the weather keeps everyone guessing.
