Music runs through all of Nashville and now there is a new live music venue to add into the mix. The Pinnacle is a state-of-the-art venue, located on the 19-acre Nashville Yards campus, boasting a 4,500 capacity and the flexibility to host both general admission and reserved seating shows. The brand-new live entertainment venue by AEG was uniquely designed with Nashville’s evolving entertainment landscape in mind. Situated prominently within Nashville Yards, The Pinnacle anchors the mixed-use district and is positioned to become a magnet for world-class live performances and dynamic community engagement, adding to the city’s already vibrant artistic vitality.
Pinnacle Financial Partners is the exclusive naming rights partner and official bank of the music venue. We had a chance to check out the space thanks to Faith Seifuddin, Communications Strategist at Pinnacle Financial Partners with the tour led by Mike DuCharme, Regional Vice Preseident at AEG. As Faith shared, “We’re proud to have a front-row seat to Nashville’s future with our new headquarters in the heart of Nashville Yards and our name on The Pinnacle, the district’s premier live music venue. It’s a unique opportunity to show up in a big way for both our clients and our city.”
Attendees are definitely in for a treat when they check out their favorite artist at The Pinnacle. Seating design allows for you to have a great view pretty much anywhere in the space. The venue is also tech forward, allowing you to order drinks and food that can be delivered right to your seat. Note, the venue is cashless. There is also a beautiful rooftop you can check out on show days to get your day/night started early in Nashville. Small bags are permitted and clear bags are not required, plus they have water filling stations, so you can bring your favorite water bottle. There is paid parking all around the venue and of course you can always take a rideshare.
The venue is really an elevated version of your typical live music, open auditorium space. The Pinnacle boasts intentional design and a local art collection that sets it above the rest. The venue celebrates Nashville’s thriving visual arts community in a very thoughtful way. Local artists have designed the wallpaper, murals, art installations, signage, and more throughout the entire venue. Curated by Emily Cox and Jenn Ward, while you are taking in a show make sure to take in the art located throughout the venue. We saw a few of our favorite local artist on display including LeXander Bryant and Shabazz Larkin.
The Pinnacle wants to fill a gap in the live music venue space outside of current traditional places like Bridgestone and the Ryman. “We want to influence a market and change culture by delivering different types of shows and different genres the reflect this city. We want artists to know they are going to be treated well”, shares Mike DuCharme. The shows already hosted have been game changers from Kacey Musgraves to T-Pain. Up next they will be bringing October Nights in May and Smino, Maren Morris and JohnnySwim are just a small sampling of the shows happening this year. View full calendar of shows HERE.
