Little Big Town will serve as hosts for this year’s CMA Music Fest: Country’s Night to Rock, a CMA Music Fest-centric television special that will air Monday, Aug. 12 on ABC, beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
“When we found out we were just thrilled,” says LBT’s Karen Fairchild. The group’s first CMA Music Fest was in 1999. The group recalled that first two-song performance at CMA Music Fest, where they were backed only by an acoustic guitar. “We’ve been playing CMA Fest ever since that two-song debut, so the chance to host it is just incredible,” says Fairchild.
In 2012, Luke Bryan and The Band Perry‘s Kimberly Perry hosted CMA Music Fest: Country’s Night to Rock.
