2008 CMA Music Festival (Fanfair) Location:
Nashville, Tenn. Dates: June 5-8 Tickets: $30-$275
The artists: Kenny Chesney, Trace Atkins, Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert, Dwight
Yoakam, Billy Ray Cyrus, Lorrie Morgan, Ashton Shepherd, Taylor Swift, 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.
