Nashville Nights 2025 kicks off with a bang on Thursday, September 11 at 8 PM at Posten in Odense – and trust us, you’ll want to be in the room when it happens.
We’re starting the festival with a Hit-Songwriter Writers Round that brings together some of the most celebrated names in country music songwriting. And when we say hits, we mean it:
These four writers have over 20 Billboard #1s between them and hundreds of cuts with the biggest names in the game:
Lee Thomas Miller – 3-time Grammy nominee and the pen behind hits for Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw, Joe Nichols, and more.
D. Vincent Williams – ACM Song of the Year winner for “I’m Movin’ On” (Rascal Flatts), and a go-to writer for James Otto, Reba McEntire, and Alan Jackson.
Rachel Thibodeau – hitmaker for LeAnn Rimes, Colbie Caillat, Lauren Alaina, and Darius Rucker (including the gold-certified “This”).
Kylie Sackley – powerhouse Aussie writer with credits for Alan Jackson, Faith Hill, Sam Hunt, and the platinum #1 “Sun Daze” (Florida Georgia Line).
This round is a masterclass in songwriting – up close and personal, with the stories behind the songs that shaped modern country music.
Then, we crank things up with a full band showcase featuring three breakout stars you’re about to fall in love with:
Taylor Austin Dye – fierce, fearless, and tearing up TikTok
Noah Smith – a gritty Americana soul with heartland roots
Emma Zinck – country fire and powerhouse vocals, straight out of Nashville
And hey… we’re not saying Blue Foley and Stefan Mørk will jump up for a surprise number – but let’s be real: they probably will.
Finally, just when you think the night couldn’t possibly top itself – we bring out one of our unforgettable Nashville Nights JAMS!
Led by the one and only Søren Okholm and his stellar band, the jam kicks off with a wild medley of iconic country hits – and the energy is pure magic. Expect singalongs, surprise guests, and a room full of smiles.
👉 NOTE: Access to this opening night show is exclusive to full festival (partout) ticket holders. If you’ve got one – consider yourself lucky. If not – what are you waiting for?
