In addition to the two-day festival, Nashville Meets London recently announced that prior to the festival’s kick-off, on Friday, July 27, Buck’ N Bull Saloon and NML will come together to host an official festival pre-party; a ‘Southern Fridays’ boat cruise down the River Thames. The programme will include acoustic performances by Liv Austen, Frankie Davies, and Raintown, and a DJ set by Baylen Leonard featuring fan-favorites spanning Country and Americana.  More information surrounding the pre-festival cruise is available by visiting www.bucknbullsaloon.com.

Since the inaugural Nashville Meets London festival in August 2016, the festival has showcased popular performances by American Young, Logan Brill, Ashley Campbell, Russell Dickerson, Ty Herndon, Sam Outlaw, Logan Mize, Angaleena Presley, Lucie Silvas, and Jo Smith, alongside U.K.-based acts Yola Carter, Flats & Sharps, Kevin McGuire, Megan O’Neill, Pauper Kings, Hannah Rose Platt, Raintown, Wildwood Kin and William the Conqueror.   The event has drawn an impressive number of people and left an overwhelmingly positive response among UK-based Country music fans and locals.

A recent surge in the popularity of Americana and Country music has created a demand for more opportunities in the UK. In May 2018, Nashville Meets London launched a monthly residency, Nashville Meets London Presents, providing an opportunity for more artists to be introduced into the market throughout the months leading up to the annual festival.

The site of this year’s festival, Canada Square Park, is located in the heart of Canary Wharf, which have over 300 shops, bars, and restaurants. Canary Wharf Arts + Events presents a world class, year-round arts and events programme, offering tenants and visitors over 200 diverse and culturally inspired events throughout the estate.  The majority of these events are free for all and range from outdoor theatre, live music concerts, sporting events, dance performances, community showcases, global street food and family-friendly shows.
