The Darius and Friends show has become the unofficial kickoff of the week of CMA Fest, raising $5.1 million during its nearly two-decade history. 

A surprise all-star roster will join the Hootie & the Blowfish frontman on the historic stage of Nashville's Ryman Auditorium.

Jason Aldean, Brooks & Dunn, Brothers Osborne, Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, Sheryl Crow, Dan +Shay, Jelly Roll, Ashley McBryde, Megan Moroney and Morgan Wallen are just a few of the stars who've played the show in the past. 

Presales start Wednesday, with tickets going on sale to the public on Friday.
