Nashville Soccer Club will be throwing a party all day on Sunday (May 1) ahead of the team’s home opener at the brand new GEODIS Park with performances from Breland, Judah & the Lion and more.

In addition to the exciting performances, Nashville SC will be reintroducing its collaborative community project, the “One Nashville Under Gold” flag, after a brief hiatus due to COVID-19. The project includes a collection of images representing Nashvillians from all walks of life, symbolizing the club’s motto—One Nashville Under Gold—as well as MLS’ “Soccer for All” initiative. The banner will be displayed at each home match and will highlight the club’s fans, supporters and community partners across the region.

Starting at noon, fans can head to the North Plaza for family-friendly activities and a special performance by Party Down, as well as pop-up acoustic performances outside Gates C and F by artists Hew G. and Zoe Babyar, respectively.

Fans with tickets in the GEODIS WeHo Club will also have access to a private performance by Nashville-bred, Mercury recording artist, and five-piece country band Boy Named Banjo starting at 1:30 p.m. Moving into the season, live pre-game performances will continue to take place before every weekend home match.

When the teams leave the field after warm-ups, Platinum-selling entertainer and Amazon Music’s inaugural Breakthrough Artist Breland will give a pre-match concert welcoming the sold-out crowd to GEODIS Park for the first time ever. Grammy award-winning musician turned ESPN personality Jason Fitz will perform the National Anthem by violin.

Rock guitarist, singer and songwriter Tommy Shaw of Styx will be the first to perform the pre-match Guitar Riff at GEODIS Park. May 1 will be Shaw’s second riff performance after he took on the pre-match Guitar Riff virtually in October of 2020.

After the game, Nashville-based band Judah & the Lion will end the home opener. The band, along with The Backline Supporters, teamed up to create the official club anthem titled “Never Give Up On You” back in 2020. Judah & the Lion will perform the anthem live for the very first time at GEODIS Park with a 20-minute post-match concert.

NSC started off the season with eight straight road games, finishing in Los Angeles against LA Galaxy. The club sits in eighth place with 11 points.
