If you aren't able to score CMT Awards tickets, but still want to watch on Wednesday night, you can gather outside the Bridgestone Arena for a viewing party and the outdoor performances for free!
Usually a few big names play during the CMT Awards on what is the Festival's Bud Light Arena Stage! If you get there early you can get right up to the stage! Last year Jake Owen and Lady Antebellum played, and the year before that it was Hunter Hayes and Jason Aldean! They also have huge screens set up so you can watch the inside action too!
