RL Grime, Kaskade and More to Perform at Nashville's Deep Tropics Festival 2024

Nashville may be known for country music, but Bicentennial Park will once again come alive with the sounds of electronic dance music this summer, thanks to Deep Tropics.

Sofi Tukker, Kaskade, PEEKABOO and RL Grime, among others, are set to headline the festival in mid-August. House artists like Cassian and Elderbrook will take over the ancient temple-inspired "Meru" stage while the tropical "Lotus" stage will host a variety of bass artists, including MEMBA and Cool Customer. Mimicking the aesthetics of Stonehenge via 360° stone columns, the “Congo Soundsystem" stage will feature Hiroko Yamamura, Art With Me Festival co-founder Matt Caines and many more.

Fans can expect stunning audiovisual production, visuals and art installations across the festival grounds. To kick off day two of Deep Tropics, a special curated set by DJ Drez will combine breathwork, yoga, meditation and dance.

Deep Tropics is considered "the greenest festival in North America" according to a press release, working in conjunction with their non-profit Deep Culture to divert festival waste from landfills. They have achieved diversion rates as high as a staggering 96%.

Collaborating with organizations like Ancient Nutrition's R.A.N.C.H. Project and Trees for The Future, the festival's organizers also offset their carbon footprint via tree-planting initiatives. The day before this year's fest, August 15th, they are hosting a sustainability summit with locals, government officials and industry leaders to discuss regenerative solutions.

"Picture immersive workshops, thought-provoking panels and captivating talks on regenerative agriculture, sustainable fashion, renewable energy and holistic wellness practices," said co-founder Joel Atchison in a press release. "Within our event, festival-goers will discover activities dedicated to rejuvenation and self-care, offering yoga, meditation, sound healing and holistic modalities designed to replenish mind, body and soul. Deep Tropics is more than a festival—it builds a bridge between party and purpose."
