Tonight, the Phil Wickham & Brandon Lake Summer Worship Nights Tour takes over the Bridgestone Arena at 7:00 PM, offering a powerful and uplifting musical experience in the heart of downtown. It’s a chance to witness two renowned artists in an atmosphere teeming with energy and faith, and even score special hotel deals close to the venue for a seamless night out, as reported by Trip.com and Ticketmaster.

If listeners crave more music options, the legendary Ascend Amphitheater is hosting the Goo Goo Dolls with Dashboard Confessional tonight, Sunday, July 20. Imagine swaying by the river as these iconic bands belt out summer anthems. Next weekend will bring Alabama Shakes to the same open-air stage on July 25 for those still in town, according to the Ascend Amphitheater’s official events calendar.

For a more intimate concert feel, 3rd and Lindsley has Lightning 100’s Sunday Night Show at 7:00 PM tonight. In just a few days, Jamie Floyd & Friends featuring Claude Kelly & Chuck Harmony roll into the same venue with special guests like Ty Herndon and Jake Hoot on July 23—making it a can’t-miss celebration of Nashville songwriting royalty.

Fans of American music history should tour the Ryman Auditorium, often called the Mother Church of Country Music. Built in 1892, the Ryman hosts over 200 shows per year and is revered for its world-class acoustics. Even outside of showtimes, the Ryman Auditorium is available for daytime tours, giving visitors a backstage peek into the space that once housed the Grand Ole Opry and welcomed legends from Johnny Cash to Lizzo.

For an approachable slice of local life, listeners should head to the Nashville Farmers' Market at 900 Rosa L Parks Boulevard. Today features “Music at the Market” with Avery Logan performing from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, combining live tunes with browsing farm-fresh produce, regional food stalls, and craft vendors—a beloved weekend tradition for both locals and visitors.

History and art buffs will love the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, which according to countless Tripadvisor reviews features family-friendly activities and engaging exhibits. The Grand Ole Opry House offers guided backstage tours, where visitors can stand on the famous wooden circle and peek into stars’ dressing rooms—a goosebump moment for any country music fan.

Looking for some quirky, offbeat fun? Nashville’s Dark Secrets: Murder & True Crime Walking Ghost Tour promises a “creepy fun” nighttime experience through downtown, sharing haunted tales and true crime stories that lurk behind Nashville’s honky-tonk façade. If supernatural chills aren’t enough, consider hopping aboard the Nashville Evening Trolley Tour, a classic yet informative ride offering sweeping views and lively commentary on the city’s musical heritage.

Outdoor adventure seekers can escape the urban bustle with a stroll along the greenways in Centennial Park or by kayaking the Cumberland River for a waterside view of the glittering Nashville skyline. For a taste of the city’s famous hot chicken or locally roasted coffee, swing through the indoor market house at Nashville Farmers’ Market or sample small-batch spirits at a craft distillery nearby.

Keep an eye out for pop-up events, secret speakeasies, and emerging Southern chefs making waves in Nashville’s culinary scene. Whether dancing to a late-night bluegrass jam, exploring the city’s storied venues, or wandering hidden neighborhoods, there’s a playlist of Nashville memories just waiting to be made.
