Don the cowboy boots and perfect your countryside looks. This October, an open-air festival is taking over Dubai Media City Amphitheatre. The city’s immersing itself in Southern countryside culture with a country music festival – Summer In Nashville. Think live bands, line dancing, axe throwing and more.
Live Music And Line Ups At Summer In Nashville
The Dubai Media City Amphitheatre will transform into a slice of Tennessee, USA on October 31 when the touring music festival lands. And it promises to be a barn burner with a line-up featuring tributes to legendary country music artists like Dolly Parton and Shania Twain.
You’ll also get to rock out to real-deal country bands – Country Bound, Lauren Claire Towney and Robbie McMinn. Artists giving tributes include Zach Bryan, Lainey Wilson and Luke Combs. Brining live band country karaoke is Countryoke! The Rooftop Riffs, Bootscoot Line Dancing and Aaron Reilly just add to the appeal.
Rodeo Bull Rides, Tin Can Alley And More
Music is just the beginning. This festival is determined to immerse you in the culture of the American South – everything that defines backyard parties and honky-tonks south of the Mason-Dixon line.
Get hot-stopping with line dancing, try your hand at classic carnival games like axe-throwing, tin can alley and mechanical bull riding. Or simply participate in the country fancy dress competition. Oh and there are 500 free cowboy hats to snatch! A silent disco party and a festival market make it all the more appealing.
Best to wrap up that aspect of ranch life before you giddy up for cool ranch and sizzling Southern barbecue at one of the many food stalls. Each ticket also includes a free Budweiser beer to wash it all down.
You should show up in your best boot-cut denims, flannels and tassle leather vests. Maybe throw some spurs on your boots for good measure – it seemed to be Coachella’s unofficial outfit this year. When else will you be able to dress up like Daisy Duke or Patrick Swayze’s James Dalton from Roadhouse in Dubai?
