Freely Fest's inaugural show to light up Nashville in under a month

Freely Fest, a brand new smaller scale festival, will be at Bridgestone Arena on April 8th, 2026 starting at 5:30pm CST. The festival includes the likes of Avery Anna, Janelle Monáe, Dominic Fike, T-Pain and the headliner of the event, The Killers. There is an interesting mix of different genres like country, rap, R&B, indie rock, and a slew of other genres mixed in.

The website of the festival says that this show is a celebration of music itself in the heart of the music city, Nashville. But it not only celebrates music, it also celebrates our First Amendment rights. The festival aims to celebrate all of the five protections that the First Amendment protects. The sponsor of the event, Freedom Forum, is a champion for the First Amendment and their aim is to inspire artists to utilize the First Amendment to its fullest capacity.

Now lets talk about some of the bigger names in the festival. T-Pain, who made his claim to fame in the early 2000s with his iconic sound of his over the top autotune and massive hits like, "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')", "I'm Sprung" and "Bartender". He will be second to the headliner, which is The Killers. Their massive claim to fame is their smash indie rock hit, "Mr. Brightside".
