Live Nation to Open The Truth in Nashville

Live Nation and AJ Capital are opening The Truth, a new 4,400-capacity venue in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood of Nashville, on Thursday, October 1. The venue takes its name from songwriter Harlan Howard's definition that a good song requires three chords and the truth. Designed by Blueprint Studio, Live Nation's in-house design and development group, the three-level venue is built so that no audience member is situated more than 150 feet from the stage.

On the opening night, Miranda Lambert will play a sold-out, one-night performance. This event will be followed by sold-out shows from Malcolm Todd, Role Model, and Freya Skye.

The venue includes a custom chandelier in the Lyric Lobby that projects the lyrics of the artist performing that night. In addition, the Set List Studio uses a letterpress from the 1950s to print nightly setlists for concertgoers, while a mezzanine whiskey bar named Harlan's offers selections from 34 Tennessee whiskey makers. Live Nation projects that the venue will create an annual economic impact of 74 million dollars, support 430 jobs, and generate 6 million dollars in tax revenue.
