TO DEBUT AT NEXT BIG NASHVILLE
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10
FEATURING PERFORMANCES FROM NBN Emerging Artists - Pull Start Rockets, Lenny, Civil Twilight and Born Empty
Warped Tour Alumni - Conditions, Therefore I Am and VersaEmerge
Continuing its efforts to promote new talent, the VANS WARPED TOUR has announced “Next Warped Nashville,” a Vans Warped Tour® stage set to debut at this year’s Next BIG Nashville Music Festival and Conference on October 10. Next Warped Nashville will feature performances from Warped bands Therefore I Am, VersaEmerge and Conditions, along with several emerging artists. The 4th annual Next BIG Nashville will feature over 150 emerging and established artists and will be held October 7-10 at multiple venues throughout Nashville.
VANS WARPED TOUR founder and producer Kevin Lyman says: “What Jason has created with Next Big Nashville over the years is instrumental in Nashville’s music scene and something we are proud to be a part of. We’ve enjoyed holding similar showcases at SXSW and Canadian Music Week, and when given this opportunity from Jason, we were more than excited to be a part of it. Some of the bands playing the showcase, like Versa Emerge and Therefore I Am, have toured with Warped and we know will make for a great show.”
"NBN is very excited to be able to bring a little bit of Warped back to Nashville for this special event,” notes Next BIG Nashville co-founder Jason Moon Wilkins. “Warped has been an integral part in exposing the next generation of punk and indie artists to the mainstream, ala middle Tennessee's own Paramore, so it just made sense to have a Warped stage during Next BIG Nashville for local and national acts on the verge of breaking out."
