Musicians Corner Announces 2025 Artist Lineup

Musicians Corner will return to Nashville’s Centennial Park beginning on May 16. The free multi-genre concert series, presented by Centennial Park Conservancy, will showcase a variety of performers at 11 concerts over the course of five weeks. The event will take place every Friday from 5 – 9 p.m. and Saturday from 12 – 6 p.m. from May 16 to June 14, with a special Sunday performance over Memorial Day Weekend (May 25).

The 2025 Spring Series kicks off on May 16 and May 17 with performances from SUSTO Stringband, Jonny Fritz featuring Joshua Hedley, LadyCouch and more. The three-day Memorial Day Weekend event will feature performances by Brittney Spencer, Sixpence None The Richer, North Mississippi Allstars and more.

“We’re thrilled to welcome the community back to Centennial Park for another season of Musicians Corner,” says Justin Branam, Executive Producer of Musicians Corner. “For over 15 years, Musicians Corner has remained a free, family-friendly event that celebrates Nashville’s vibrant and eclectic music scene. It’s an honor to provide a platform that not only showcases legendary and up-and-coming talent but also supports local artists with meaningful paid performance opportunities. Whether you’re coming to see a favorite band or hoping to discover a new sound, Musicians Corner is the perfect way to spend a weekend in the park with friends and family.”

More artists are slated to be announced later this month, including the Lightning 100 Stage lineup, which will feature 24 local emerging artists of varying genres. In addition to live music, each event will feature artisan vendors, craft beer, wine, and cocktails, a variety of local food trucks, Kidsville activities and featured community partners.

Musicians Corner will also return August 29 for its annual Fall Series with events each Friday evening through September 26, including the return of Free Fest, in partnership with Lightning 100, over Labor Day Weekend (Aug. 29-31) and a special event in conjunction with Americanafest on Sept. 12.
