NASHVILLE – Thunderstorms, high wind, and lightening forced CMA to reschedule the CMA World GlobaLive! concert from Monday to Tuesday, June 9 (1:00-6:30 PM/CT).
“We take the decision to reschedule events during the Festival very seriously, because we don’t like disappointing our fans,” said Sarah Trahern, CMA Chief Executive Officer. “But the safety of our attendees – and the safety of the artists – is our top priority and the weather Monday night was too severe and unpredictable. Fortunately, we had the flexibility to move the concert to Tuesday and still provide a great concert experience for everyone – especially the artists who have traveled from around the world to be in Nashville for this event.”
CMA World GlobaLive!, which began in 2004 as the Global Artist Party, serves as a showcase for overseas talent leading up to the Festival.
