Nashville earned the name Music City for good reason. Check out some of the best, most iconic and can’t-miss music venues Nashville has to offer.

 

Bluebird Cafe

For any fans of the show Nashville (RIP), the Bluebird Café is pretty iconic. The incredibly small club is home to many up-and-coming artists and a mainstay in Nashville’s music scene. Don’t let the look of the venue fool you, reservations are highly recommended as shows sell out regularly.

 

Grand Ole Opry

No music venue list of Nashville would be complete without the Grand Ole Opry. This concert hall has graced the city’s music scene since 1925 and still showcases superstars across several genres today.

 

Blue Room Studios, Third Man Store
Meticulously designed by Jack White, the Blue Room Studios at the Third Man Store in Nashville is a find for audiophiles. Listen to a live show and recording while supporting the arts at this original insider venue.

 

Ascend Amphitheaters

One of the few open-air venues in Nashville, Ascend Amphitheater is a must experience for concert-goers. Ascend boasts weekly events through the fall with artists, including Tenacious D, Ben Folds, Judah & the Lion and Lenny Kravitz.

 

Exit/In

This rock, R&B and eclectic genre venue delivers CBGB, punk, New York vibes in an unsuspecting locale. Exit/In brings unique shows nearly every other day, with ticket prices usually beginning at $10.
