Inaugural U.S. ‘Red Bull Jukebox’ To Take Place At Ascend Amphitheater This Fall
Red Bull has announced that its inaugural U.S. “Red Bull Jukebox” will take place at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater on Oct. 2. “Red Bull Jukebox” is a new live music experience that allows fans to determine what songs are performed and how.
Brothers Osborne, Shaboozey, Priscilla Block, Tucker Wetmore, Muscadine Bloodline, Breland, The Castellows and some surprise guests will step onstage to perform setlists created entirely by their fans during the special show. Hosted by Whiskey Jam’s Ward Guenther, the event will also feature the “Red Bull Jukebox” house band, curated by guitarist and producer Derek Wells. Tickets go on sale this Friday (July 12) at 10 a.m. CT. For more information, click here.
Leading up to the event, fans can visit the “Red Bull Jukebox” the website to vote across multiple categories and shape the performances they want to see. The first vote is now open to the public, and attendees will be able to vote on more unique categories on artists’ socials throughout the summer as well as in person at the show. Each attendee will receive a light-up wristband upon entry, giving them the option to choose “red” or “blue” to vote for each live pick.
“‘Red Bull Jukebox’ has created a brand new way to experience a concert–letting the fans vote on our setlists,” says Shaboozey. “I can’t wait to see what y’all pick!”
“This being Nashville, the potential for surprises around Whiskey Jam and knowing Red Bull’s tendency to surprise—this event has great potential. You never know. Somebody’s always here,” notes Guenther. “Overall, the uniqueness of this event, this being the first ‘Red Bull Jukebox’ in America, coming to Nashville, Whiskey Jam being involved, is one of the biggest honors we’ve ever had. Nashville has never seen a show like this.”
Additionally, songwriters from Music City and beyond have submitted songs to the “Red Bull Jukebox” songwriting competition over the past few months. Applicants were narrowed down to the five that fans can now vote on. The winner will be announced during the event in October, and awarded an all-expenses paid trip to record at Red Bull Music Studios in Los Angeles. They will also receive one-on-one coaching sessions with a professional songwriter and BMI.
