Nashville Days 2026 – A Homegrown Celebration With Heart

There is something unmistakable about Nashville Days. You feel it the moment you step onto the field at Bridge House Barn. The sunshine on the water. The easy smiles. The sound of guitars drifting across the Leicestershire countryside. It is a festival built not by promoters, but by people who simply love country music and the community that surrounds it.

Created in 2024 by Leicester band The Other Country, Nashville Days has grown year after year without losing sight of why it exists. It is proudly not for profit. It is run by the same people you will see dancing in the crowd. And every penny that is not needed to pay the bills goes straight back into making the next edition even better.

In 2025, Pioneer Ticket holders helped fund a bigger stage, improved facilities, upgraded lighting and proper security for 2026. The result is a festival that feels more polished, more welcoming and more alive than ever.

The 2026 Lineup

Headliner: Luke Combs Tribute by Nearly Combs

Lee Brady brings a full hurricane of hits, capturing the power, grit and heart of the modern country superstar. Expect the anthems, the singalongs and the kind of energy that lifts the whole field.

Headliner: Lainey Wilson Tribute by Lainey Wilson Tribute UK

Bell bottom swagger meets chart topping country. This tribute brings Lainey’s fire, storytelling and summer evening magic to life in a way that feels tailor made for Nashville Days.

The Other Country Band

The beating heart of the festival. Leicester’s own country covers band return with a set packed with fan favourites and feel good moments. They are the reason Nashville Days exists, and the crowd always shows them the love they deserve.

Dust & Debris

Country, bluegrass and Cajun fun with a barn dance spirit that sweeps up the whole field. If you are not dancing by the second song, you will be by the third.

Leannán

A beautiful acoustic duo from Leicester. Real life couple Amy and Stephen weave intimate, heartfelt covers with harmonies that stop conversations mid sentence.

The Matt Keneson Band

Original country music with soul. These are the kind of songs that stay with you long after the festival lights fade.

Emily Victoria

A solo acoustic set filled with emotion and goosebump moments. Her voice is one you need to hear live to fully appreciate.

More artists will be announced soon. Nashville Days always keeps a few surprises up its sleeve.

A Festival That Feels Different

What makes Nashville Days special is the atmosphere. There is space to breathe. Room to dance. Vendors who keep prices fair. A team that refuses to cram people in. It is a festival where strangers become dance partners and dance partners become friends.

The Honky Tonk Highway runs all day with line dancing sessions that welcome everyone, from seasoned two steppers to complete beginners. It is impossible not to get swept up in the fun.

Camping turns the whole weekend into a relaxed countryside escape, with tents, caravans and motorhomes creating a friendly little village of country fans. Independent stalls add colour and character, showcasing local makers and small businesses who are part of the community as much as the artists on stage.

Why It Matters

In a UK country scene that is growing fast, Nashville Days stands out as something rare. A festival built with heart. A festival that puts people first. A festival where the love of the music comes before everything else.

Nashville Days 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest and brightest chapter yet. If you want a festival that feels honest, joyful and rooted in the community that makes UK country so special, this is the one.
