Ascend Amphitheater Information

Ascend Amphitheater

The Ascend Amphitheatre is an all-ages venue located at 310 1st Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37201. It presents a gorgeous outdoor venue that is as beloved as the music stars that come to take the stage. Even while still being a relatively new venue, it has that classic music lovers feel that keeps fans coming back for more.

History

The idea was first proposed on August 27, 2013. At the time, then-Nashville Mayor Karl Dean unveiled plans for the venue which would be placed on the site of the city’s former thermal transfer plant. This was intended to make use of the land as the plant had been phased out in the early 2000s. 

Initially, the field was going to become the home for a minor league baseball stadium, but due to delays and issues, the land remained vacant until the amphitheater construction began. 

Today, it is a venue with space for 6,800 spectators (2,300 in fixed seating and 4,500 in lawn seating).
