9/1 Zzzoofari Slumber

9/4 KISS & Motley Crue

With combined album sales of almost 200 million, KISS and MÖTLEY CRÜE are more than just iconic; they remain today as the dominant powerhouses of rock music tallying 30+ chart-topping hits, countless sold out tours and awards and accolades from around the world. Known for their elaborate and spectacular stage shows, each band plans to give fans the ultimate summer concert experience with the most impressive lighting and sound production ever and their signature over-the-top pyrotechnics. This is the first time KISS and MÖTLEY CRÜE will share a stage since 1982

9/4 Dead Can Dance

These will be the first live shows since their hugely successful sold out tour in 2005, and Dead Can Dance will visit 4 continents over an 8 month period in 2012 and 2013. Dead Can Dance will be releasing a new Studio Album to accompany the World Tour, which will be their first since "Spiritchaser" in 1996.

9/6 Sunset Safari

Join Nashville Zoo for an evening that promises to tantalize all of your senses. Travel the Zoo’s pathways to uncover delectable treats from restaurants, caterers and bakeries around the city and exotic beverages from around the world. Groove and sway to musical beats while you are greeted by unusual animal hosts who welcome you to this one-of-a-kind event.

9/6 The Secret Sisters

The Secret Sisters' incredible story is as simple and true as the effortless harmonies that got them here. Begin anywhere - the thick and fertile brambles of their own family history (their grandfather and his brothers actually forged a group called 'The Happy Valley Boys') or light upon the branches of the wondrous, fractal menagerie that makes up their debut album (a guileless, rapturous mixture of rootsified pop that includes classics like "Why Don't Ya Love Me?" and "Why Baby Why"). The pure goldenrod from a pair of Alabama sisters direct from Muscle Shoals (barely twenty-somethings themselves) dare to cover the Sinatra untouchable "Something Stupid," one minute, and deliver their own self-penned, soon-to-be signature anthem "Tennessee Me," the next. The Secret Sisters will be at War Memorial Auditorium in Nashville, TN - September 6, 2012 at 7:30 p.m.

9/7-9/8 Professional Bull Riders

The Professional Bull Riders announced that the Top 35 bull riders in the world will compete against the best bucking bulls on the planet when the PBR Built Ford Tough Series returns to Bridgestone Arena for the Jack Daniel’s Invitational on Sept. 7-8. Click here
