The Nashville hotspot is celebrating its one-year anniversary in style. The Barstool Nashville 'Summer Fest Block Party' lineup includes Cheat Codes, Bryce Vine, Lily Rose, Chase Wright, Tanner Adell, Levi Hummon, Trey Lewis, and Chris Ferrara.
Barstool Nashville's party of the summer will be hosted by Barstool Sports' own Caleb Pressley and Glenny Balls. The doors will open at 2 pm, admission is free, and it is 21 years of age and older to enter.
The bar is offering a "Barstool Nash - 1 Year Anniversary VIP Experience" for $150 which grants fans access to the air-conditioned mezzanine floor and covered patio from 2pm until 9pm. The VIP ticket also includes an unobstructed view and a premium open bar.
"NASHVILLE!! We are grateful to everyone who has supported us during our absolutely incredible first year! As a thank you to y’all, on June 22nd we are throwing a FREE BLOCK PARTY in front of the bar to kick off year two! We’ll be partying from 2-9pm featuring a fantastic lineup of major musical acts, with @calebpressley @glennyballs hosting the fun. Join us for great tunes, delicious food, cold drinks, and plenty of special guests," Barstool Nashville posted on Instagram.
Barstool Nashville opened its doors in summer of 2023 and the property was previously home to Joe's Crab Shack for nearly 20 years. The space is two levels and includes four full bar, a patio, and a live performance stage.
Dave Portnoy also known as "Stool Presidente" and founder of Barstool Sports, was last captured visiting Barstool Nashville back in the fall. We're hoping he will make an appearance at the block party next weekend.
Today (6/21) marks the first day of summer. The summer solstice occurs when the sun appears to be directly over the Tropic of Cancer, and for 2023, that's 10:58 a.m. Eastern.
The longest daylight hours of the year will vary depending on how far you are from the equator. Daylight hours will gradually shorten until the winter solstice in December. The situation is reversed in the Southern Hemisphere, where winter starts in June.
But enough about the science of summer; we love summer because it's fun. Most country stars feel the same way. Luke Bryan told us recently, before he launched his 2023 "Country On" tour, "Nothing is better than being out on the road in the summer."
For Dierks Bentley, summer is about having fun and lighting things up a bit. A few years ago, Dierks told us before he launched a summer tour, "Fireworks were a big part of my summers growing up and explosives and putting half sticks of dynamite in mailboxes and just having fun."
Chris Young told us a few years back that summertime is the time to work when you are a country singer, and vacations during the summer are few and far between. He said, "Everyone else is getting a chance to relax a little more, but as a musician, you're playing somewhere, and it's always tricky trying to work that out. Everyone is like, 'You should come over; we're having a barbecue,' and I'm like, 'I'm gonna be in the middle of the country."
Little Big Town's Phillip Sweet told us about his group's summer anthem, "Pontoon," when it first came out, "It's just fun, it really is, it feels like summer, and it feels exactly what it sounds like. I grew up on pontoon boats in the summer on the lakes and just having a blast."
As we bring in the official start of summer today, we look at what we believe are twelve of the best country music songs celebrating the summertime.
12. Blake Shelton - "Some Beach" (2004)

9. Carrie Underwood - "Southbound" (2018)
UMGCarrie said of the writing process on this song, "I was like, 'This sounds like fun, I think. We can do something fun with this.' But then you realize how tricky for some reason it is to be a woman and write kind of a drinking party boat song."

SonyThe song is a summer duet with Chesney and Uncle Kracker.
7. Luke Combs - "Beer Never Broke My Heart" (2019)

1 - Alan Jackson - "Chattahoochee" (1993)
SonyLuke Bryan said in a recent interview that when he thinks of summer, this is the song he thinks of. Alan said of the song he co-wrote, "It's a song about having fun, growing up, and coming of age in a small town - which applies to anyone across the country, not just by the Chattahoochee."
