Situated on one of the tallest hilltops in Nashville, the concerts are scheduled around glorious sunsets on the portico of the Vanderbilt Dyer Observatory. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets, lawn chairs, food, and drink and relax on the Observatory’s front lawn to enjoy a fabulous evening of sunset, music, and stars. After the performance, when the stars begin to shine, the telescope is opened for visitors to cap their night with views of celestial wonders.

Artist Lineup: Matt Jenkins, Josh Jenkins, and Trannie Anderson

A ticket admits one vehicle with up to 8 people in it. The ticket price covers everyone in your vehicle. We have very limited parking with only room for one parking space for each ticket. Also, we cannot match individuals to group tickets if they arrive separately. Everyone entering on each ticket must do so in a single vehicle.
We cannot allow attendees to walk or use rideshares. Cars coming to the top of the hill to drop people off and leave present a safety hazard for there isn't room to safely turn around with all the traffic and guests unloading their cars.
Vanderbilt Police have asked us to remind everyone to please stay in your vehicle until it is parked--for safety reasons.
RV’s or other oversized vehicles are not allowed unless special permission has been granted prior to arrival.
