Rock Nashville To Open This Fall
Rock Nashville is set to open later this year. The 55-acre, 610,000 square-foot facility, located on Whites Creek Pike less than 10 miles from Downtown Nashville, will be the first of its kind in the region.
Developed through a partnership between Rock Lititz and Merus, with Soundcheck Studios serving as an anchor tenant, Rock Nashville will feature large-scale rehearsal facilities, 13 production studios and a vendor hub.
“Rock Nashville will be a place where artists, crews, and companies come together to create, collaborate, and prepare for the road,” says Scott Appleton, VP of Rock Nashville. “A one-stop shop to create amazing live experiences.”
The campus will employ approximately 50 local staff members, while an additional 500 employees from partner vendors, such as Clair, Gallagher, and Rock It, will be based on-site daily. Additionally, between 200 and 400 temporary local workers, including labor crews, runners and seamstresses, will contribute to day-to-day operations, alongside another 200–400 touring crew members working across the 15 studios.
“Beyond providing support for efficient and productive rehearsals, we have found significant strength in collaborating for industry growth,” adds Andrea Shirk, CEO + President of Rock Lititz + Rock Nashville. “From shared employee training to next generation development to industry awareness, the campus brings the live entertainment industry together for intentional collaboration.”
