Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Country stars Jelly Roll and Ashley McBryde will team up as hosts for ABC’s annual “CMA Fest” special, set to be taped at the festival this week and then air on the network June 25. It’s the first time either singer has hosted a prime-time special.

CMA Fest takes place in Nashville Thursday through Sunday.
Although no announcements have been made about who will be featured on the ABC special, the likeliest suspects include the top performers slated for the festival’s nightly Nissan Stadium concerts. The two hosts have their own spots on that performing schedule, with McBryde playing Thursday night and Jelly Roll wrapping up the main stage with a late night appearance on Saturday. Others booked for sets at the stadium this week and good candidates to make their way to the special include Lainey Wilson, Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Cody Johnson, Kelsea Ballerini, Parker McCollum, the War and Treaty and the currently very hot Shaboozey.
Last year’s special was co-hosted by Lainey Wilson, Dierks Bentley and Elle King. Bentley and King also hosted, sans Wilson, in 2022. The
