The 45th annual CMA Music Festival was its biggest year yet, toting an impressive 88,500 fans a day. The nightly shows at Nissan Stadium showcased the biggest names in country music, whereas the free, daytime stages paved the way for upcoming artists to show off their songs. But country artists were not the only ones taking the stage this year: rockstar Elle King and pop icon Pharrell also made appearances alongside Dierks Bentley and Little Big Town, respectively. Check out our full photo coverage, showcasing over 60 artists over the course of five days.
