Where Is Spotify House During CMA Fest?

Spotify House will be held at Ole Red Nashville, located at 300 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37201, at the corner of Broadway and 3rd Avenue North.

Ole Red has become the longtime home of Spotify House during CMA Fest, giving fans a chance to see major country artists in a much smaller setting than many of the festival’s larger stages.

When Is Spotify House 2026?

Spotify House will run for three days during CMA Fest:

Thursday, June 4, 2026
Friday, June 5, 2026
Saturday, June 6, 2026

According to Ole Red’s 2026 FAQ, Main Stage doors open at 10 a.m. CT, with the first performance beginning at 11 a.m. CT. The final performance begins at 12:30 a.m. CT, and the venue closes at 2 a.m. CT.

Rooftop hours are from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m. CT, with the Fresh Finds Rooftop presented by Mountain Dew and Pepsi Stage scheduled from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. CT and Country Club running nightly from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. CT.

Is Spotify House Free? Do You Need Tickets?

Yes. Spotify House is free to attend, and no ticket is required. Entry is first come, first served and is not guaranteed, so fans should plan ahead if there is a specific artist they want to see.

Because admission is based on capacity, having a spot in line does not guarantee entry. Fans should also be prepared for separate morning and evening Main Stage sessions each day, with guests required to exit after the morning programming and rejoin the line for the evening session.

Spotify House 2026 Daily Lineup

The daily lineup has been announced with official performance times. Room Reset refers to all patrons having to exit the building, and a new group of fans will get to come in. Please note, all artists and times are subject to change. Fans should check back for the official schedule and continue watching Spotify House and Ole Red channels for the latest updates.

What to Know Before You Go

Spotify House is one of the most popular free events during CMA Fest, and it operates differently than a reserved-ticket concert. Since entry is first come, first served, fans should expect long lines, limited capacity and a possibility that they may not get in for a specific performance.

Ole Red’s 2026 FAQ notes that guests may begin lining up as early as 8 a.m. CT each day. Main Stage doors open at 10 a.m. CT, with morning programming running until 4:30 p.m. CT. At that point, all guests from the morning session will be asked to exit the building. Evening programming begins at 5:30 p.m. CT, and fans who want to return for the evening session will need to rejoin the line.

Attending the morning session does not guarantee access to the evening session. Entry remains first come, first served and is not guaranteed, even for fans who were inside earlier in the day.

After 9 p.m. daily, Spotify House is 21 and older, and all guests must show a valid government-issued photo ID every time they enter the building.

Tips for Attending Spotify House at CMA Fest

If Spotify House is high on your CMA Fest list, plan ahead. Fans can begin lining up at 8 a.m. CT each day, but entry is still based on capacity.

• Arrive early if there is a specific artist you are hoping to see.

• Have a backup plan in case the venue reaches capacity. There’s so much to do in downtown Nashville - use this CMA Fest guide to plan your day.

• Remember that the Main Stage is split into morning and evening sessions.

• If you attend the morning session and want to return for the evening session, you will need to exit and rejoin the line.

• Check Ole Red’s bag policy before heading downtown, as Spotify House follows a clear bag policy and security screening.

• Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, especially if you plan to attend after 9 p.m.

• Watch for official updates from Spotify’s Hot Country account and Ole Red.

• Be prepared for schedule changes, surprise guests and possible changes in timing.

• Since Spotify House is free and space is limited, flexibility will be key.

Why Spotify House Is a Big Deal at CMA Fest

Spotify House has become a major stop during CMA Fest because it gives fans a chance to see some of country music’s biggest names in a smaller downtown venue. The lineup usually blends established stars with fast-rising artists, making it one of the best places to discover new country acts while also catching major performers.

With artists like Luke Bryan, Keith Urban, Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Carly Pearce, Shaboozey, Dan + Shay and Old Dominion on the 2026 lineup, Spotify House is once again expected to be one of the most in-demand free events of CMA Fest week.
