"I definitely feel like the outdoor festivals are all about the whole experience," singer Hillary Scott told us.

She added: "So, for us, from the artists' perspective, we definitely play to a higher energy."

CMA Fest is the longest-running Country Music festival in the world and is uniquely programmed with artists donating their time so a portion of ticket proceeds can be invested in high-quality music education programs throughout the U.S. via the CMA Foundation.
Meanwhile, Lady A's latest album, What A Song Can Do, is out now. Tickets for their upcoming Request Line Tour, which kicks off in Nashville in August, are on sale now. For more information visit ladyamusic.com.
