Rock Lititz live event and rehearsal production studio and development company Al. Neyer partnered to open a 55-acre entertainment rehearsal and production campus in Nashville, Rock Nashville, in 2025.
The deal will include 44 acres of development on a 55-acre site in Nashville's Whites Creek neighborhood. The Rock Nashville campus will include three buildings with more than 515,000 square feet of sound stages, as well as creative offices and production facilities of various sizes capable of supporting various production specifications for live performances, from local bands to A-list artists. The campus will include performer resources and 13 band rehearsal spaces and production studios ranging from club/theatre sizes to auditorium, arena and stadium scale (including a room up to 95 feet high for playing venues of this size), plus set storage, backline rental, artist relations offices and a community cafe.
The campus is expected to become home to nearly 35 companies, including the SoundCheck rehearsal studio complex, which contributed to the design of Rock Nashville and helped spearhead the strategic partnership between the team at Rock Lititz and Al. Neyer. SoundCheck will move from its current home on Cowan Street in Nashville, where it has been for over three decades. Additionally, Clair Global, which provides live production spaces, systems integration and audio solutions, will be located at the new campus.
Groundbreaking for the new facility was held in mid-April, and construction is expected to be completed in the fall of 2025. Rock Nashville is expected to house 400 employees and 85 support business workers.
