We’re giving you an up-close look at The Pinnacle, Nashville’s newest concert hall + sharing a few of its note-worthy features.

If you’re eager to attend a show at the new Nashville Yards venue, the wait is nearly over. Kacey Musgraves will play the inaugural show on Thursday, Feb. 27, and 40+ events are currently scheduled through October. Here’s what you can expect at the new space:

The experience

The 88,500-sqft venue fits 4,500 concertgoers and features two viewing levels. If you have a lower level ticket, expect a lifter floor for enhanced sightlines. The horseshoe balcony offers rail-side standing, VIP seating, and first-come-first-served bleachers. For parking, Nashville Yards has 7,000+ paid spaces.

Food and drinks

The Pinnacle has bar and concession areas, and Canada-based restaurant Earls Kitchen + Bar will occupy the first floor by late 2025. In the meantime, grab a pre-show dinner nearby at Stationairy (inside Union Station Hotel) or The Finch.

Upcoming concerts

After Musgraves, the next five artists and bands to take the stage include Illenium, Killswitch Engage, Deadmau5, Turnpike Troubadours, and Journey. Later this spring, Jason Isbell, T-Pain, Megan Moroney, and Jack White will perform.

In addition to concerts, the venue plans to host comedy shows and wrestling events in the future.
