Big Machine Records To Host Star-Studded 20th Anniversary Bash In August
Big Machine Label Group is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a special Big Machine 20 Concert in downtown Nashville on Aug. 29 to kick off the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix Weekend.
The free concert will feature performances from Riley Green, Sheryl Crow, Brett Young and Preston Cooper, joined by stars from throughout BMLG’s 20-year history, including The Band Perry, RaeLynn, Danielle Peck, Danielle Bradbery, Jack Ingram and Jimmy Wayne.
Big Machine 20 will toast to two decades of chart-topping hits and genre-defining talent, and serves as the official kick-off party for the newly rebranded Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix NTT Indycar Series Championship weekend. The event will also include the fifth annual Freedom Friday event, honoring members of the Military, Police, Fire, First Responders and Frontline Heroes. Last year’s Freedom Friday concert saw more than 118,000 attendees. VIP viewing tickets for Big Machine 20 are available here.

This is our thank you to Nashville and all the fans of our amazing artists and their music. This is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime event and one we’ll never forget!”
