The Big Machine Music City Grand Prix has announced that CMA and ACM-award winning recording artist Jon Pardi will headline Saturday night’s concert. Set for Aug. 7, the show will take place the night before the highly anticipated IndyCar race.

Pardi’s critically-acclaimed album Heartache Medication debuted atop the Billboard Country Albums chart and his hit song of the same name reached No. 1 on MusicRow‘s Country Breakout Charts in October 2020. The “Ain’t Always The Cowboy” singer is set to take the stage with his high energy show on the festival’s main stage at 8:30 p.m. CST with fireworks immediately following the show.

Pardi joins an already stacked lineup of artists including Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Tyler Farr, Vince Neil, Danielle Bradbery, Justin Moore, Callista Clark, Riley Green, Jamey Johnson, and Tim Dugger with further additions to the lineup expected.

The Big Machine Music City Grand Prix is slated for Aug. 6-8. It will be staged on a temporary 2.17-mile grand prix circuit throughout Nashville and around the Nissan Stadium campus. The course will also cross the Cumberland River via the Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge, making the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix the only current event in motorsports to cross over a major body of water.
