Few young pop stars are having a bigger moment right now than Olivia Rodrigo, who, in 2021, catapulted into the cultural zeitgeist with propulsive, edgy, and pop punk inspired debut LP SOUR, transcending her teen Disney actor…

If you were an indie rock fan in 2003 (or a teen in the aughts in general), no two albums perhaps better defined that year than The Postal Service‘s Give Up and Death Cab for Cutie‘s Transatlanticism, made all the more impressive by the fact that both bands were fronted by the same man:…

It hasn’t even been a year since famed English indie art pop outfit The 1975 last played Nashville, headlining Municipal Auditorium last November in support of then-new fifth album Being Funny in a Foreign Language. In the months since, the band- who’ve become something of a generation-defining group over their prolific last decade, since…
Formed at the start of the ’80s in Essex, England, influenced by the flourishing punk and post-punk scene of the late ’70s as well as the burgeoning electronic scene, Depeche Mode swiftly became a seminal fixture in the synth-pop, electronic, new wave, and goth rock scenes of the 1980s. Following some early hits, a…
Aside from an appearance at Vanderbilt’s annual Commodore Quake concert series in 2017, just a few months after she released her massive, critically-acclaimed, star-making debut studio album Ctrl, and an early appearance at Bonnaroo, way back in 2015, beloved R&B and pop singer SZA has rarely made it to Music City over the last…
It’s been a whirlwind few weeks for young, breakout pop star Olivia Rodrigo, whose 2021 frenetic, confessional, angsty, pop punk meets bedroom pop debut LP Sour became one of the most popular and well-reviewed major releases of that year. Proving immune to the sophomore slum, Rodrigo’s followup GUTS, which dropped earlier this month, is…

Made up of cousins Ruby da Cherry and $crim, New Orleans hip hop duo $uicideboy$ have been one of the biggest underground success stories of the last few years, rising from the online buzz of self-produced, independently released and incredibly subversive mixtapes to selling out giant shows nationwide, collaborating with stars like Travis Barker, and becoming one…
Arguably one of the most singularly influential acts in ’90s and early ’00s pop punk, who, along with peers like Green Day, helped catapult the genre in the mainstream, San Diego trio Blink-182 came together more than 30 years ago as a scrappy punk band, breaking into the mainstream with 1997 sophomore effort Dude Ranch, before…

Pop megastar Madonna, who, somewhat surprisingly, had never played Nashville until a headlining outing at Bridgestone Arena back in 2016, has plotted her return to Music City, set to once-again take the Bridgestone stage on Dec. 22! Part of a new leg of dates for her recently-announced Celebration Tour, the show will celebrate every…

In an alternative universe, we would’ve gotten to watch Lizzo become the first woman to headline Bonnaroo in 2020 or even in 2021, but, unfortunately, Covid and Mother Nature had other plans, forcing cancelation of both years…
