Though we’re still in denial that it’s almost September, Live on the Green kicks off in just one short week on September 3. The Lightning 100-sponsored concert series is bringing back free outdoor music to downtown Nashville’s public square, and we couldn’t be more excited. Live on the Green’s lineup has been marginally fleshed out since we first reported the announcement, and the first week’s festivities will feature Toadies, American Bang and the first performance from this year’s new Ten out of Tenn lineup. The current schedule (with a bunch of holes) for the coming weeks below:
