Country Goes Global is back for CMA Fest 2025, and this year, it’s bigger, bolder, and more international than ever.
Presented by Nashville Meets London, the two-day showcase has officially announced its 2025 lineup. The event returns June 7–8 with back-to-back performances from 11 AM to 3:30 PM each day. Even better? It’s free and open to the public.
After packing out Chief’s last year, Country Goes Global is making a move to the brand-new Category 10, in the heart of downtown Nashville. If you’re looking to explore the global side of country music, this is the spot. The lineup is stacked with rising talent from around the world, including artists from Australia, Canada, the U.K., Israel, Scotland, Korea, the U.S., and more. It’s the perfect place to discover new voices and get a taste of how country music is resonating across borders.
