In 2019, Spotify brought Lil Nas X to Lower Broadway, among numerous headliners, as they took over Blake Shelton and Opry Entertainment Group’s Ole Red venue during CMA Fest weekend. In 2022, they will return with 46 acts to the same space, celebrating their 6.8 million followers to their flagship Hot Country playlist, among other highlights.

Acts not on the CMA Fest calendar including Ashley McBryde, Jelly Roll, Mickey Guyton, Midland, Nelly, and Tyler Hubbard and more are scheduled to play the massive Lower Broadway venue -- alongside many acts also appearing on CMA Fest stages -- from June 9-12.

Jellyroll visits Tin Roof, Tuesday, April 12, 2022, in Nashville where he cut his teeth as a new artist from rapping to country radio. 'Jelly' is also launching a new concert at Bridgestone Arena to benefit at-risk youth and youth drug recovery.

All shows will be open to the public, and space will be limited to first-come, first-served. Ole Red will be open for shows from June 9 through Saturday, June 11 from 11:00 am to 2:00 am daily, and Sunday, June 12 from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm.

Spotify's live event schedule features legacy stars, No. 1 hitmakers, emerging performers and more at Ole Red from June 9-12, 2022

“So much has happened in Nashville since the last CMA Fest, and this includes the rise of some incredible talent and trends within country music. When we were building the lineup for our Spotify House at Ole Red this year, we knew we wanted to curate a group of artists that reflect the trends of our listeners,” said Mary Catherine Kinney, Lead, Strategic Music Partnerships at Spotify.

“The genre is growing, and fans will be able to experience the full scope of the genre under our roof. Between our initial lineup announcement today and a few of the surprise guests we have to come, this is truly a set list built by the listeners, and we can’t wait to experience it all in person.”

Spotify has also announced they are debuting a "Fresh Finds Stage" -- spotlighting their Fresh Finds Country playlist --  with performances throughout the weekend. That lineup is expected to be revealed next week.
