Deep Tropics 2024 EDM fest in Nashville: We have the full lineup – Tennessean

For the sixth time in eight years, on Aug. 16-17, over three dozen critically acclaimed and globally renowned dance music acts will descend upon Nashville’s Bicentennial State Park for Music City’s award-nominated 2024 Deep Tropics Music Festival.
Already-announced headliners for the event include deep house sets from two-time America’s Best DJ award-winner Kaskade and International Dance Music Awards-winning DJ Nora En Pure, as well as appearances by chart-topping trap and bass DJ RL Grime, Grammy-nominated house act Sofi Tukker and rising dubstep stars PEEKABOO, Tape B and Zingara.
Multiple levels of tickets ranging from $115-$440 are available at deeptropics.org.
Deep Tropics is an offshoot of event booker and venue operator Full Circle Presents and Nashville’s sustainability-driven Deep Culture non-profit, which as their website states, is aimed at “caring for the Earth via curated experiences that activate transformation of self, community and planet.”

Over the past seven years of Deep Culture and Deep Tropics’ existence, the group has engaged in renewable energy initiatives, reusable cup programs, tree-planting endeavors and zero-waste initiatives that have diverted nearly all of the festival’s waste from landfills.
A press statement adds, “Deep Tropics sets the stage for an unforgettable experience that’s as good for the planet as it is for the soul.”
Full Circle Presents’ engagement in Nashville’s burgeoning dance music scene now includes the classic Chicago house-adoring family trio of Austin Knight, his parents Jim and Allison Knight and Full Circle Presents founder Blake Atchison. Atchison co-founded Deep Tropics with his brother Joel Atchison and John Hanna, a DJ, producer, and Full Circle Presents co-owner.
“Nashville is changing culturally as a city,” Knight told The Tennessean in March 2024. “It’s growing at an accelerated pace and house music is bigger than ever in the U.S. More people are being exposed to this type of music.”
“I think in the South, we can be a destination for electronic dance music.”
It’s not just happening at Deep Tropics and Night We Met, either.
Twenty percent of the newly renovated multi-space venue Cannery Hall (with a 1200-person standing-room main space) and recently enlarged (to nearly 2,000-person standing capacity)Assembly Food Hall Skydeck (where Shaquille O’Neal recently played dubstep and heavy bass as DJ Diesel) bookings through October are of the DJ-friendly variety.
As well, add the lower bowl of Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium to the spaces booking dance acts by Sept. 10, when decade-long veteran EDM DJ, producer and singer-songwriter Porter Robinson brings his “SMILE! World Tour” to Music City.
2024’s festival will also include three different stage activations at Bicentennial State Park.
