Is this your first time experiencing Nashville Nights Festival? Then you’re in for something truly special. Here’s our little guide to some of the experiences you simply don’t want to miss.
Nashville Nights is about so much more than concerts. It’s about songwriters, stories, great songs, big moments, and that very special atmosphere that happens when musicians come together on stage and share their music with an audience.
And if you’re new to the festival, there are a few things we think should be right at the top of your Nashville Nights must-do list.
🎸 Experience a Writers Round
If you’ve never experienced a Writers Round before, get ready.
A Writers Round is one of the most intimate and authentic experiences you’ll find at Nashville Nights. This is where songwriters sit on stage and share the stories behind their songs – how they came to life, what they’re about, and perhaps what they mean to the songwriter themselves.
And then comes the magic moment when the song is played.
This year, you can experience a very special Writers Round featuring Lee Thomas Miller and Marcus Hummon, together with Andy Albert and Fancy Hagood. But be sure to check out some of the many other incredible artists and singer-songwriters sharing the stage throughout the festival.
Because when a songwriter tells the story behind a song and then sings it with all the emotion that went into writing it, you experience the music in a whole different way.
It’s something you have to experience live.
🎤 Don’t Miss the Full-Band Shows
Of course, Nashville Nights is also about big energy, big choruses and fantastic full-band shows.
Our talented Danish house band will be backing several of the artists throughout the festival, proving once again that Denmark knows how to bring some serious country music to the stage.
You can experience the band alongside Craig Wayne Boyd, while rising stars like Emma Zinck and Kensie Coppin get the chance to show what they can do with a great band behind them.
And don’t miss British country artist Kezia Gill with band – country music with heart, energy and plenty of attitude. 🤠🎸
These are shows packed with energy, musicianship and that unmistakable Nashville Nights spirit.
⭐ And Then There Are the Solo Shows
Be sure to make room for the intimate solo shows, too.
This is where artists get to step on stage with nothing but their voice, their instrument and their songs. It can be intense, funny, vulnerable and incredibly personal – and some of the festival’s most memorable moments often happen right here.
So our best advice is: Don’t just chase the biggest names. Take a chance on an artist you may not know yet. You might just discover your new favorite.
👕 Don’t Forget the Merch!
No Nashville Nights experience is complete without a little festival shopping.
Stop by our merchandise store by Studenterhuset, where you can find Nashville Nights merch – as well as merchandise from several of the artists performing at the festival.
The perfect place to pick up a little piece of Nashville Nights to take home. Or something that proves you were there before everyone else discovered them. 😉
🙋♀️ Ask Our Amazing Volunteers
And if you ever find yourself thinking:
“Now, where am I supposed to go?”
Don’t worry.
Our amazing volunteers are always ready to help. They know the festival, the venues and the program, and they can either answer your question or point you in the right direction.
So don’t be shy – just ask. We’d much rather help you find your way than have you wandering around somewhere between the guitars, cowboy hats and country stars.
🤠 The Most Important Tip?
Take your time.
Nashville Nights isn’t necessarily meant to be experienced by rushing from one concert to the next. Give yourself time to discover something new. Sit down for a Writers Round. Walk into a show by an artist you’ve never heard before. Stay a little longer than you planned.
Because that might just be where you have the experience you’ll be talking about long after the festival is over.
📱 Download the Nashville Nights App
This year, we’ve made it even easier to find your way around Nashville Nights.
We now have our very own Nashville Nights app, which you can download and keep right at your fingertips throughout the festival.
Inside the app, you’ll find the full festival program, maps, information, special offers and much more. You can also use the app to plan your festival experience and mark the things you absolutely don’t want to miss.
And yes – of course we’ve thought about the most important thing:
The cowboy hat. 🤠
In the app, you can put a little cowboy hat on the experiences you simply have to catch. That way, you can easily keep track of your favorites and make the most of your Nashville Nights experience.
So our first piece of advice is simple: Download the Nashville Nights app before you arrive.
Welcome to Nashville Nights.
We can’t wait to have you with us. ❤️🎸
