Spotify House is returning to CMA Fest for a fifth year, bringing back our marquee country music showcase June 6-8. Once again, we’re taking over Nashville’s beloved Ole Red venue, welcoming fans to enjoy three unforgettable days of nonstop country music and special surprises.

Since 2018, we’ve brought our country playlists to life through Spotify House, creating the best destination to hear the different sounds and styles of country at CMA Fest. The 2024 Mainstage lineup will include many of today’s top country stars and standout rising artists, including Ashley McBryde, Avery Anna, BRELAND, Brett Young, Brian Kelley, Cole Swindell, Corey Kent, Danielle Bradbery, Dustin Lynch, Dylan Gossett, Ella Langley, Graham Barham, Jon Pardi, Jordan Davis, Koe Wetzel, Lady A, Lauren Watkins, Lily Rose, Little Big Town, Luke Bryan, Mackenzie Carpenter, Mason Ramsey, Matt Schuster, Michael Warren, Mickey Guyton, Midland, Mitchell Tenpenny, Old Dominion, Owen Riegling, Parker McCollum, Riley Green, Russell Dickerson, Sam Barber, Tucker Wetmore, and Tyler Hubbard, with more to be added!   

Spotify House will also welcome Lily Rose and Cassie DiLaura to serve as hosts for all three days.

“It’s hard to believe that we are about to celebrate our fifth year bringing Spotify House to CMA Fest in June,” said Jackie Augustus, Lead, Country & Folk, Artist Partnerships at Spotify. “Since we first started hosting this event in 2018, Spotify House has become a beloved part of our year-round support and dedication to all things country music. We feel so privileged to have been able to present the many incredible artists who have graced our stages, and we are excited to once again bring our playlists to life and showcase some of the best and brightest in country music today.”

Over the last five years, country’s popularity on Spotify has grown immensely, with a nearly 110% increase in U.S. streams during that time. But that’s not all:

  • Spotify’s Hot Country playlist has seen over an 80% increase in streams in the last five years.
  • In the last five years, over 193,700,000 user-generated “country” music playlists have been created on Spotify.
  • July is the top-streamed country music month on Spotify over the last five years.
  • Spotify’s Hot Country playlist is ranked in Top 10 most-listened-to playlists on Spotify, globally.
  • In 2023, Spotify paid out more to country music artists than any other year previous. Spotify continues to set that record amount year over year.

We’ve put a spotlight on country’s most dynamic new faces over the past five years at Spotify House, and this year’s lineup will keep the tradition going with a new wave of artists who have ignited the country scene in 2024: 

  • Rising country singer-songwriter Wyatt Flores will step on the mainstage for the first time after debuting at Fresh Finds Rooftop last year.
  • Country/hip-hop/R&B artist Shaboozey, whose guest appearances on Beyonce’s COWBOY CARTER catapulted his breakout anthem, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” to the top of the country charts.
  • Soulful country singer-songwriter Tanner Adell, whose featured vocals on the COWBOY CARTER track “BLACKBIIRD” have firmly established her as one of Nashville’s most in-demand young singers. 
  • Dasha, who has emerged as one of country’s hottest new stars following the massive success of her viral hit Austin.”

We’re also partnering with Meta throughout the event to bring an exclusive Instagram Reels experience to Spotify House. Director The Tommy B will be capturing content that you can find on featured artists’ Instagram and Facebook accounts.

Spotify House will be open to the public each day from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. Entry will be on a first-come, first-served basis. And fans can click here to find the full schedule.
