On December 14, 2024, in Nashville, Tennessee, Ceremony Fest announced their first annual 18+ event at the newly renovated Cannery Hall with 24 amazing acts! Kenny Hoopla, JXDN, Mod Sun, Point North, and many more will be performing! As well as one of my favorite musicians Amira Elfeky! Check out the trailer below! And yes, I got scared when the trailer started because I was not expecting it to have an explosive sound like that. Which is awesome because hey, it made me excited at the same time! Honestly, can’t wait to see this festival succeed!
The event will take place in all three rooms at Cannery Hall, showcasing 24 acts on a local and national level across a variety of genres including alternative, rock, indie, emo, pop-punk and more. Doors open at 4pm with the show taking place at 4:30pm CST.
“I began my career in music as a promoter when I was a teenager so throwing events has always been a passion of mine. I’ve spent most of my career as an artist manager but the live aspect of music has always excited me. More so, I moved to Nashville a little over 3 years ago and the city has been such an inspiration to me. Watching it grow in other genres outside of the country has been really fun to see, and so creating Ceremony is a way for me to expand on what Nashville is becoming. ” Says founder, Nick DeLouise on his inspiration increasing this festival. “I’m excited to share a new and different concert experience, bringing an eclectic lineup where fans can see some of their favorites and discover new artists as well. Next year we have big plans to expand the festival in different ways for a bigger capacity across multiple days.“ – Music Promoter for the event
“Music is bigger than a sound, it is literally and genuinely the connection between the people behind the noise. Ceremony, will be exactly that. I have found joy in the friendships I have made, so to be able to have a whole festival dedicated to that is something special. It may be the first, but it won’t be the last. So grateful to be a part of something like this from the beginning.” – jxdn
“The rock culture in Nashville is the most underrated scene period. Ceremony is on the forefront of what will become a special time in music. I’m honored to be a part of the beginning of this story.” – John Harvie
“Getting to play a festival with a bunch of friends in the place I live is hands down the most excited I’ve been for a festival in years. We’re extremely thankful and hyped to hang out with everyone! Come kick it.“ – Kalie Wolfe, Rivals lead vocalist.
“We’re very honored and excited to be a part of Ceremony fest’s inaugural year. We’ve got alot of new music we’ve been releasing and are planning on debuting some new songs at the fest. We love Nashville, can’t wait to see you in December.” – Collin Walsh, Grayscale lead vocalist
“I’m so stoked to play Ceremony here in Nashville. I’ve waited years for a rock fest like this to happen here, and I’m beyond pumped to be able to be apart of it!“ – Elijah
“The lineup was specifically curated to showcase artists who I believe to be some of the best up and coming artists in the alternative genres. I also wanted to showcase Nashville artists as well, which almost half are based here. A lot of these artists are very different stylistically but I believe this lineup complements each other very well. Also, a lot of these artists are very close friends and have toured and played shows together, so in a sense we are throwing a big end of the year family reunion for them.“ DeLouise
