Music City never stops strumming, and the action really amps up when the temps start climbing. Consider this your seasonal concert forecast — and it calls for major touring acts, hometown shows, and symphonic sounds throughout Nashville.
This is just a sampling of hundreds of concerts, so be sure to check venue websites for more events.
The big concerts
Rock, country, pop … the list goes on. You can almost always count on touring acts to stop in the 615.
- Bridgestone Arena will host Tyler Childers, Stevie Nicks, Kid Cudi, and Earth, Wind & Fire and Chicago, among others.
- Across the street at Ryman Auditorium, Amy Grant, ERNEST & Friends, and Charley Crockett will take the stage. Plus, don’t miss a special tribute to Patsy Cline featuring 10+ artists.
- The Nashville Symphony (performing the music of Pink Floyd), Styx & Foreigner with John Waite, and Tate McRae will take the tunes outdoors at Ascend Amphitheater.
- Other outdoor tour stops include Morgan Wallen, Zach Bryan, Def Leppard & Journey, and Kenny Chesney at Nissan Stadium.
Hometown heroes
Many artists call Nashville home, which makes local tour stops extra special.
- Stephen Day, Maggie Rose, and Adam Doleac are coming to Brooklyn Bowl.
- If Rock Block shows are on your radar, catch Post Sex Nachos and Dreamer Boy at Exit/In + Olivia Scott at The End.
- For an intimate concert experience — we’re talking up to 250 guests — catch The Bygones at Third Man Records’ Blue Room.
Festival favorites
If seeing multiple acts at once is your jam or you want to ring in upcoming holidays with live music:
- CMA Fest will bring 150+ performers across multiple stages downtown in June, including Carly Pearce, Gavin DeGraw, HARDY, and Jelly Roll.
- Also in June, spend four days in Manchester, TN at Bonnaroo with Cage The Elephant, Post Malone, Megan Thee Stallion, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and more.
- Don’t forget that Musicians Corner returns to Centennial Park for its 15th anniversary May through June, with the fall series beginning at the end of August.
