Nashville may be known for country music, but Bicentennial Park will come alive again with the sounds of electronic dance music this summer, thanks to Deep Tropics.
Sofi Tukker, Kaskade, PEEKABOO and RL Grime, among others, will headline the festival in mid-August. House artists including Cassian and Elderbrook will take over the ancient temple-inspired 'Meru' stage, while the tropical 'Lotus' stage will host a variety of bassist artists including MEMBA and Cool Customer. Mimicking the aesthetic of Stonehenge through 360° stone columns, the “Congo Soundsystem” stage will feature Hiroko Yamamura, Art With Me Festival co-founder Matt Caines, and many more.
Fans can expect stunning audiovisual productions, images and art installations throughout the festival site. To kick off the second day of Deep Tropics, a special set curated by DJ Drez will combine breathing, yoga, meditation and dance.
