When most people think of Nashville, they think of country music legends who shaped the local music scene, like Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash. When it comes to the emerging alternative rock scene? That’s where Ceremony Fest steps in.

First taking place on December 14th 2024 in the newly renovated Cannery Hall, Ceremony brought an out-of-this-world lineup ranging from more well known alternative acts like Kennyhoopla, Mod Sun and JXDN, to fresh up-and-coming acts in the alt rock scene, giving a diverse palette to all attendees. 

Astonishingly, with tickets bought from 32 states in the US and across four countries, Ceremony Fest brought nearly 2000 attendees together over their shared love of the alt/indie/emo/rock scene.
