2008 CMA Music Festival (Fanfair)
Location: Nashville, Tenn.
Dates: June
5-8
Tickets: $30-$275
The artists: Taylor Swift, Trace Atkins, Faith Hill, Miranda
Lambert, Dwight Yoakam, Billy Ray Cyrus, Lorrie Morgan, Ashton Shepherd, Randy
Travis and more
The music: Unlike others of its type such as Coachella and
Bonnaroo, CMA can be best thought of as a full-service music festival. Not only
do you get to watch the finest performers in country music do their thing but
you also have a chance to get all their autographs and browse booths, convention
style, of a wealth of country music exhibitors. Representatives from fan clubs,
record labels and Nashville businesses set up shop, and the Family Zone provides
plenty of activities for children such as magicians, face-painting, and
interactive inflatables.
