Best DJ in Nashville 2026: Amy Darling

Nashville has a wealth of dance parties these days, but no matter what kind of danceable music you’re into, there’s a good chance you’ve seen widely loved DJ Amy Darling on the wheels of steel. Whether she’s on the decks for a circus performer’s birthday party at Hit Parader downtown or at an indie-sleaze rager at Rosemary & Beauty Queen in Five Points, Darling has been exceedingly busy this year, fitted up in glitter and feathers and ready to make Nashville sweat. She’s a party maker, and she shines at knowing when to drop bubbly, electrifying girl-pop bangers from the likes of Chappell Roan, Paramore and Charli XCX to keep crowds in motion and eager to let loose.
