We now know whose CMA Fest performances will be part of the upcoming CMA Fest TV special. Jelly Roll, Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson, Carly Pearce, Kelsea Ballerini, Brothers Osborne, Luke Bryan and more will be part of the TV special, airing on June 25 at 8:00 PM ET on ABC, and streaming the following day on Hulu.
In addition to performing, Jelly Roll and McBryde will also serve as hosts of the three-hour televised program.
“Stepping onto the stage in front of 50,000 people to host CMA Fest at Nissan Stadium in my hometown of Nashville was indescribable,” says Jelly Roll. “The magnitude of the moment really hit me, to be across the street from the juvenile detention center I was in and to now be on stage hosting—how do you describe being in the same exact place while being in a place that couldn’t be more different, at the same time.”
“When my buddy Jelly Roll and I walked out into this massive crowd and felt the electric energy for the first time, it felt important,” adds McBryde. “We were nervous! But it also felt good, because at the root of it all, it’s just me and my pal cutting up, only we’re doing it on national television for CMA Fest.”
Jelly Roll performs his latest No. 1 single, “Halfway to Hell” with Urban, and his award-winning “Save Me” with Wilson, while McBryde both “The Devil I Know” and a duet with Gretchen Wilson on “Redneck Woman.”
