On November 8, 2025- Ceremony Festival celebrated their second year at Cannery Hall in three different rooms that brought fans from all over the United States to come and support all the musicians on the lineup! There were 19 different artists on this years lineup that ranged from indie, rock, emo, and pop-punk. The amount of video’s I’ve seen of friends that live in Atlanta singing their hearts out with Jutes is the reason why I need to come out and support this festival next year because If people are driving over 8 hours to go to an event; it’s worth it.

“Ceremony was created with the vision of bringing the alternative scene to the heart of Nashville. In a city best known for its country roots, our goal was to introduce something fresh — a platform that shines a light on both emerging and established voices in emo, pop punk, and alternative music.” – Ceremony Fest Founder, Nick DeLouise

I can’t wait to see what this year brings. Ceremony is one of the only festivals really focused on bringing attention to the scene of new heavy/alt artists that’s been bubbling up over the last couple years. I have a feeling they got their finger on the pulse of this next generation of headliners that people don’t even realize yet.”  – Colie Hutzler, Beauty School Dropout lead vocalist.

“Nick’s vision for bringing the Nashville scene to life has been so rewarding to be a part of. The best part is playing with so many amazing bands that are on the come up, and being able to support them like they do me. This festival will be special to look back on years to come.” – John Harvie.

“Grateful to be on this lineup. headlining it is actually insane. lotta artists i really fuck with on this one. gonna be a sick night! Nashville’s not ready.” – Sueco.

“I love Nashville so much. The people, the music, nature and city alike. Everyone’s kind. I can’t believe it was only a couple years ago that I made my first visit. I’m so excited to play ceremony with my new project officially being out by then and with so many homies on the line up!” – Chandler Leighton .

“Ceremony Fest in Nashville was a good experience overall, a day full of great music, a welcoming crowd, and the kind of energy that makes you remember why you love live shows in the first place. The lineup was stacked with everything from heavier alt-rock to more emotional, melodic sets, and you could feel how much everyone there genuinely loved the scene.” – CaliberTV

“What started as an ambitious newcomer to the festival circuit in 2024 has quickly become one of the most exciting events in Nashville’s growing alternative scene, bringing together a genre-blending mix of punk, emo, alt-rock, and indie acts from across the country.” – Melodic Mag

“Nashville may still be known as the home of country music, but on Saturday, November 8, it felt like the center of a very different universe. The second annual Ceremony Music Festival returned to the newly renovated Cannery Hall, and before the doors even opened, a line of fans wrapped down the block, with their phones out, eyeliner sharp, and buzzing about who they were most excited to see. It was immediately clear that this year was going to outdo last year’s debut..” – The Concert Chronicles
