Capitol Street Party Performers, New Location Revealed

CMA Award nominee Luke Bryan has been virtually unstoppable in 2012, and now he has been announced as the headlining artist for the Capitol Street Party 5, set for Oct. 17 in its new downtown Nashville location.

The annual free concert will be held on Lower Broadway between 1st and 2nd Avenues, and up-and-coming Capitol Nashville artists Kelleigh Bannen and Jon Pardi will also perform.

“When Capitol asked me if I wanted to be part of this year’s Street Party, I thought, ‘Let’s make it the biggest one yet,’” Bryan told the Tennessean. “What better way to do that than to take over Lower Broadway in downtown Nashville.”

Just last week, Luke Bryan helped announce the CMA Award nominations and wound up with a couple of his own. His platinum selling album tailgates & tanlines is up for Album of the Year and he will also compete for Male Vocalist of the Year.
