While Louisville’s WFPK Waterfront Wednesday is happening as I write this, Nashville’s similar radio station, Lightning 100, announced the lineup for its comparable event (even bigger, but still free), Live On The Green.
Live On The Green was, for its first years of existence, a monthly summer concert series that took place in Public Square Park in downtown Nashville. But last year due to an increase in popularity, organizers decided to turn their last few weeks into a full weekend festival.
Live on air today Lightning 100 announced its lineup, and if Louisvillians were wise, they would realize Nashville isn’t all that far and would make the drive for this free event (VIP tickets are available).
Lighting 100 has decided to keep the anticipation going by delaying the announcement of a few slots. The nearly complete lineup is as follows:
Thursday August 20
Lord Huron
Shakey Graves
Elliot Root
Thursday August 27
Houndmouth
J. Roddy Walston & The Business
Cold War Kids
Thursday September 3
Greg Holden
The Delta Saints
??????
Thursday September 10
Civil Twilight
Humming House
Kopecky
JD McPherson
Delta Rae
Rodrigo y Gabriela
Friday September 11
Music City Mayhem winner (Battle of the Bands–esque contest)
Turbo Fruits
Zella Day
??????
Big Data
??????
Passion Pit
Saturday September 12
Mr. Steve
The Districts
Future Thieves
Lennon & Maisy
Kaleo
Elle King
Anderson East
??????
All Them Witches
??????
Ben Folds
If I were a betting man, I'd bet one of those final slots will be filled by Moon Taxi. They formed in Nashville, will be releasing an album this year and have made multiple appearances at Live On The Green in previous years.
