In 2022, Ascend received Pollstar’s Red Rocks Award  for Best Outdoor Concert Venue, and you can trust the venue to deliver gorgeous, soaring views of the Nashville skyline and Cumberland River, especially for sunset shows. The 6,800-capacity amphitheater is actually also a part of the Nashville Parks system, providing a greenway and park space for all downtowners. In addition to being seriously sustainable—they diverted over 105,000 pounds of waste from landfills during 2022 alone—Ascend also books heavy hitters in every genre, from Chris Stapleton and Avril Lavigne to Styx, Cypress Hill and Lake Stret Dive.
