In fall 2026, Live Nation will open the 4,400-capacity indoor music venue The Truth in Nashville. "Live Nation wanted to be sure that we were adding something that was going to speak to the core of Nashville," Sally Williams, president of Nashville Music & Business Strategy for Live Nation, tells Billboard.

The Truth will join AJ Capital Partners' 18-acre, mixed-use Wedgewood Village development in Nashville's Wedgewood Houston.

The venue will highlight talent ranging from global headliners to local Nashville favorites representing an array of musical genres. The Truth, designed by Live Nation's in-house design and development group Blueprint Studio, will offer a flexible floor plan with three levels in close proximity to the stage, with configurations able to accommodate capacities ranging from 1,800 to 4,400, including standing-room and fully-seated shows.

"This is going to give us the flexibility to host everything from comedians who maybe don't want a standing room audience to bigger shows where people want to stand," Williams says. "We will shine the light on Nashville, but we're going to bring in the biggest stars on the planet, too, from outside of Nashville."

"People are going to begin to feel like this is their venue, which is what they're hoping for," Williams says. "The mission has been to create something other than the sort of box with a stage that you could put anywhere in the world. We wanted to do something completely Nashville-centric."
