CMA Fest 2018, Day 3: Kelsea Ballerini, Chris Stapleton + More Rock Out [PICTURES]
Chris Stapleton, Kelsea Ballerini and more brought star power to Nissan Stadium on Saturday night (June 9). They and a number of others performed there for the third day of the 2018 CMA Music Festival.
Fans at Nissan Stadium also got to see sets from Jon Pardi and Lee Ann Womack, among others; Sam Hunt also made a surprise appearance. Elsewhere in Nashville, RaeLynn, Cassadee Pope and William Michael Morgan played on the numerous CMA Fest stages scattered throughout downtown Music City, while Garth Brooks dished about his new music (and played a few hits) during a Q&A.
Readers can flip through the photo gallery above to see pictures from throughout Day 3 of CMA Fest 2018. The annual four-day event runs through Sunday (June 10). In August, ABC will air a TV special featuring footage from the Nissan Stadium shows; Thomas Rhett and Kelsea Ballerini are returning to co-host the show for a second year.
