Since 2010, Musicians Corner has been bringing some of the best concert bills you’ll see anywhere to Centennial Park — for free and at family-friendly times, to boot. The program has announced the lineup for its five-week spring 2026 run of shows, and it’s as awesome as you’d hope, with headline appearances from Amanda Shires, S.G. Goodman, Sunny War, Madi Diaz, Amythyst Kiah and more.
“Musicians Corner is back,” says executive producer Justin Branam in a release. “The mix of up-and-coming talent and legendary acts has always been a hallmark of Musicians Corner, and this season will be no different. We look forward to the Nashville community joining us at Centennial Park this spring with friends and family.”
The spring season includes shows on Friday evenings (5 to 9 p.m.) and Saturday afternoons (noon to 6 p.m.) from May 15 through June 13, plus a special Sunday show on May 24 as part of the program’s three-day Memorial Day weekend run. The series focuses on (but isn’t exclusive to) local talent, and there are highlights galore, from pop rockers The Foxies and Nordista Freeze to country-rock champs Teddy and the Rough Riders and torch singer extraordinaire Nicole Atkins and bluesman Cedric Burnside — not to mention the annual performance from the Nashville Symphony on June 5.
The release also notes to expect another slate of artist reveals in early May, when Lightning 100 will announce the two dozen performers who will play its curated stage. In addition, no artists have been named for the fall series, but it is set to kick off on Aug. 28 and will include a Labor Day event Sept. 4 through 6 and a special AmericanaFest collaboration on Sept. 18.
