The Big Machine Music City Grand Prix®—a three-day international festival running August 6-8. It will be staged on a temporary 2.17-mile grand prix circuit in Nashville and around the Nissan Stadium campus. The course will cross the Cumberland River via the Korean Veterans Memorial Bridge, making the Music City Grand Prix the only current event in motorsports to cross over a major body of water. Music City Grand Prix President Chris Parker explained “In addition to a weekend of racing, attendees can look forward to the best Nashville has to offer, including live music performances by top artists, best-in-class food experiences and entertainment that centers on speed in a way only Music City can serve up.” There will be an unprecedented selection of premium hospitality options, ranging from on-track suites for groups of 20-50, and the Starting Line and Nissan Stadium Eastside Clubs.

“I’ve worked for decades bringing racing and music together and I can’t think of a better way to welcome the IndyCars back to Nashville than honoring them with our namesake,” said Scott Borchetta, President and CEO of Big Machine, Title Sponsor for the event. “My very first race was an IndyCar race, the California 500, and this brings it full circle. I truly believe that we’ve created the most exciting new weekend in racing anywhere in the world and Nashville is going to roll out the red carpet. This will be a party you don’t want to miss.” Entertainment announced to date include Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Tyler Farr, Vince Neil, Danielle Bradbery, Justin Moore, Callista Clark, Riley Green, and Jamey Johnson. More exciting announcements about additions to the lineup will be rolling out over the coming weeks. sl For more information on the Music City Grand Prix visit musiccitygp.com or follow on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter at @musiccitygp.
