Bridgestone Arena Headlines a Busy Stretch of Games and Live Music.

Nashville’s event calendar is entering a high-energy stretch, with major sports matchups and nationally touring artists drawing crowds to downtown venues over the next two weeks.

Sports at Bridgestone Arena & Nissan Stadium

Bridgestone Arena remains home to the Nashville Predators, with several upcoming home games expected to generate strong attendance and downtown foot traffic.

Scheduled matchups over the next two weeks include:

Predators vs. Chicago Blackhawks — Feb. 26
Predators vs. Detroit Red Wings — March 2
Predators vs. Boston Bruins — March 5

Meanwhile, Nissan Stadium continues to anchor large-scale sporting events and seasonal programming, reinforcing Nashville’s position as a regional sports destination.

SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament — March 11–15

Game nights consistently boost restaurant reservations, hotel occupancy, rideshare demand, and retail activity throughout the downtown corridor.

Live Music Across Nashville

Live music happens nightly across Nashville — from Broadway honky-tonks to intimate listening rooms and neighborhood venues. It is part of the city’s cultural infrastructure and a constant economic engine.

Over the next two weeks, Bridgestone Arena will host several high-profile concerts, including:

Barry Manilow — March 7
Bad Omens with Beartooth & PRESIDENT — March 17
New Edition with Boyz II Men & Toni Braxton — March 20

Large arena tours like these not only attract local fans but also draw regional and national visitors, reinforcing Nashville’s brand as a premier live entertainment market.
