Highlights of Martina McBride’s set from the 2009 CMA Music Festival will air on ABC from 8-11 p.m. on Aug. 31. The show, “CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock,” will also feature the performances of other country stars, including Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Sugarland, Reba McEntire, Kid Rock, Darius Rucker, Brad Paisley, and many more.
The four-day festival has been released for TV audiences for the last five years, giving country music fans a chance to experience the festival if they couldn’t be there themselves. The show follows the performers, and also offers viewers a “behind the scenes” peek at some backstage moments.
Originally begun as “Fan Fair” in 1972, the CMA Music Festival has steadily grown, averaging about 4,000 more attendees from the festival’s previous year.
