For those who missed the sold-out CMA Music Festival last June, now's your chance to view the whole spectacle from the comforts of home.
The CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock is a three-hour television special that was filmed at the CMA Music Festival last June. The show will feature CMA Music Festival performances from artists like Little Big Town, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Zac Brown Band with special guest, Richie Sambora, Justine Moore with Vince Neil, and Nikki Six of Motley Crüe, Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley, The Band Perry and Keith Urban, according to the Tennesean.
Recently, Enstarz said that the Country Music Association released a sneak-peek at the 2014 CMA Music Festival which featured singer Keith Urban. In the preview, Urban admitted that he loves to perform stating, "I'm always antsy, ready to play. Jackson Brown always said that he does the two hours on stage for free and they pay him for the other two, I think that's right."
Urban also talked about his love for music and teased out the appeal of the CMA Music Festival saying that it is always quite an experience with people coming from all over the country to partake in the experience. He said, "It's like one big party for a week." Urban passionately added that, "When you're at a country concert, I think you feel it."
On another note, CMA also partnered with iTunes to promote the show. Biz Journals said that songs by the CMA Fest performers will be featured on a specially created iTunes Radio station dedicated to the CMA Fest. It added that during the broadcast, viewers will also be invited to shop and purchase music from a dedicated CMA Fest store on iTunes.
The special was first aired in 2004 and 2014 will be the 10th time ABC will be broadcasting the special. The CMA Music Festival: Country's Biggest Night to Rock will air on ABC on Tuesday, August 5 at 8PM ET/PT.
