The Gibson Garage Nashville is marking its fifth anniversary in style with the launch of Gibson Garage Fest: a three-day celebration of guitars, artists and live music set to take over Music City during CMA Fest week from June 3–5.
Held at the iconic Gibson Garage Nashville, the event transforms the space into a full-scale music playground, offering fans free access to live performances, artist appearances, interactive experiences and even major guitar giveaways. It’s a fitting tribute to a venue that has quickly become one of Nashville’s most immersive destinations for music lovers.
The week kicks off on June 3 with a celebration of guitar culture, featuring performances from the Gibson Garage Band alongside rising artists from Gibson’s Generation Group, plus a special “Back to Basics” lesson hosted by renowned guitar educator Marty Schwartz. It’s a day rooted in musicianship, giving fans the chance to both watch and learn.
June 4 shifts gears with a major Sony Music Nashville takeover, bringing together a stacked lineup of contemporary country talent including Corey Kent, Kameron Marlowe and Tigirlily Gold, alongside a host of rising voices. The result is a high-energy snapshot of where modern country music is heading, packed into one intimate space.
The festival wraps on June 5 with a genre-blending lineup featuring artists like Brittney Spencer and Bre Kennedy, showcasing the diversity and evolving sound of Nashville’s next wave.
