About Nashville
Nashville is Music City, and its live entertainment scene is unmatched for depth and authenticity. The Grand Ole Opry has hosted country music legends since 1925 and continues to present shows year-round at the Grand Ole Opry House, a 4,400-seat venue that is hallowed ground for country music fans. The Ryman Auditorium, the Mother Church of Country Music, is a 2,362-seat former tabernacle with extraordinary acoustics that hosts concerts across all genres. Lower Broadway is the heart of the honky-tonk scene, with venues like Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, Robert's Western World, and Nudie's Honky Tonk offering free live music day and night. Beyond country, Nashville has a thriving rock, indie, Americana, and hip-hop scene with venues like the Basement East, Exit/In, and Marathon Music Works. Nissan Stadium on the east bank of the Cumberland River is home to the Titans and hosts stadium concerts and events including the NFL Draft in 2019. Bridgestone Arena downtown is home to the Predators and one of the top-rated arenas in the country for concerts. Geodis Park, one of the largest soccer-specific stadiums in the world, is home to Nashville SC. The CMA Fest each June draws tens of thousands of country music fans for four days of performances. Nashville's warm climate allows for outdoor events from April through October, and the indoor venues keep the music playing year-round.

Lower Broadway is lined with honky-tonks that feature live bands all day with no cover charge. Robert's Western World, Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, and Layla's Honky Tonk are among the most popular. The Gulch and East Nashville neighborhoods also have bars with free live music on select nights.
