Ashley McBryde and Cody Johnson will be hosting the CMA Fest TV special on June 26th at 8PM on ABC and streaming on Hulu the next day. The three-hour show will be filmed during the 52nd CMA Fest in Nashville, happening June 5th to June 8th. McBryde is hosting for her second year, while it’s Johnson’s first time. The special will feature top performances and unique collaborations from the festival’s main stage at Nissan Stadium. Big names like Jason Aldean, Kelsea Ballerini, Brooks & Dunn, Luke Bryan, and Keith Urban are set to perform, with more artists to be announced soon.
Post Malone is opening a huge bar in Nashville’s Lower Broadway, set to be the largest on the strip with a 26-thousand-square-foot ground floor. Located at 305 Broadway, next to Jason Aldean’s bar, it will replace Tequila Cowboy and Wanna B’s karaoke bar. Partnered with TC Restaurant Group, which runs venues for stars like Luke Bryan and Lainey Wilson, the bar will have six bars, three stages, a large dining room, and a rooftop venue. No opening date or name has been shared yet. Malone, new to country music with his 2024 album “F-1 Trillion,” joins artists like Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, and Jelly Roll who own Nashville bars. He’s currently on his “Big A— World Tour,” and it’s unclear if the bar will open before the tour ends.
