Nashville is shifting into high gear preparing for the 3rd Annual Big Machine Music City Grand Prix, August 4-6. The actionpacked weekend features the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, Indy NXT, GT America, GR Cup, the Big Machine Spiked Cooler Trans Am TA2 Series, and Stadium SUPER Trucks. For these exciting three days, the streets of downtown will come alive with the sounds of music, food, and racing; all spun into a festival experience only Music City can deliver.

Race fans and music lovers alike will have the chance to experience the best and brightest international drivers on the track and incredible talent on multiple music stages. This year’s musical lineup includes some of the top acts in the world: Motley Crue’s Vince Neil, Chris Janson, Gavin DeGraw, Flo Rida, Jay DeMarcus, Brian Kelley, and many more.

“The biggest misconception of our event is that someone has to be a race fan to attend. We truly have something for everyone. Multiple music stages with incredible live music, a new family fun zone, an interactive fan zone, and highly entertaining non-stop racing action offer so much for the festival goer,” said Liz Allison, Executive Vice President of Big Machine Music City Grand Prix. Allison and the executive team have been instrumental in expanding the Grand Prix into Nashville’s premium motorsports and music festival.

“We are thrilled to bring back one of Nashville’s premier sporting events this summer,” said Jason Rittenberry, President & COO. “We listened to our fans and have made some exciting changes that will enhance the overall festival experience. This will be our best race yet.”

CLUB RPM For the ultimate all-inclusive Big Machine Music City Grand Prix hospitality experience, The NetJets Club RPM, presented by Flatrock Motorclub, is the very best way to spend the weekend in premium style. Located trackside in Turn 3, Club RPM has dynamic views, air conditioning, paddock access, driver meet and greets, concert access, an open bar, and catering provided by Kristen Winston, who caters many premium events city-wide.

Due to Club RPM selling out in 2023, the structure has expanded in size and increased the number of tickets available for this year’s event. This unmatched motorsports club experience offers climate-controlled indoor & outdoor viewing with open-seating options of high tops, sofas, comfortable lounging areas, closed-circuit race coverage, and private restrooms.

“The care in planning and attention to detail in Club RPM is second to none. From the decor, level of service to the food offerings and everything in between, we take pride in our carefully curated premium club,” Allison tells Sophisticated Living.

Club RPM guests will also have a unique opportunity to use their exclusive IndyCar Paddock Pass to get up close and personal with drivers, their cars, and pit crews, as well as concert access. The pass is also transferable to friends and family members from one day to the next (not within the same day), making it a flexible option for making the most of the weekend’s festivities. Club RPM will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience under the stars and lights of downtown from your own private clubhouse.

From Club RPM to the new Family Fun Zone and all the music and food trucks, this is a festival you don’t want to miss.
