The greenest festival in the USA returns to Music City for its fifth edition on August 18 & 19 with SG Lewis (DJ set), Gorgon City, What So Not, Khiva, Coco & Breezy, Hayden James, and many more.
Deep Tropics, Nashville’s biggest electronic music festival, has garnered acclaim and recognition from festival-goers nationwide for their unwavering commitment to maintaining sustainable practices while preserving the quality of a world-class music festival. Earlier this week, they announced their return to Music City on August 18-19, 2023 for their fifth iteration, inviting fans from all corners of the globe to this dazzling music and interactive art experience. Spread across their three immersive stages – the ancient temple-inspired “Meru” stage, the bass-fueled “Lotus” stage, and a third performance space known as the “Congo Soundsystem”, there’s a whopping genre-bending lineup featuring SG Lewis (DJ Set), Gorgon City, What So Not, KHIVA, Inzo, Eli & Fur, Ravenscoon, Sonny Fodera and many more! As expected, Deep Tropics offers a strong undercard of some of the finest breakthrough and rising talent, like Major League DJz, Kream, Saka, Veil, and Charles Meyer, to name a few. The creative site and stage designs will take the energy to stratospheric levels. The one-of-a-kind amphitheater in the park ensures every viewpoint is perfect with a beautiful downtown skyline view in the backdrop.
Co-founded by twin brothers and music aficionados Blake & Joel Atchinson, Deep Tropics is committed to maintaining a minimal carbon footprint. The upcoming edition of the festival will see them go beyond net zero by producing a carbon-negative event for the third year in a row. Their mission is to be the greenest festival in the United States and these efforts are fueled by their non-profit organization Deep Culture, Inc. In 2021, 79% of festival waste was prevented from entering the landfill and the proceeds from Green Disco Eco-Bands allowed them to plant 59,000+ trees in Kenya and help offset their carbon footprint. In 2022, 93% of festival waste was prevented from entering landfill. Additionally, Deep Tropics has a zero-waste program to ensure materials are either recyclable, compostable, or reusable.
Deep Tropics will once again create an entire program of pre-parties, day-time events, workshops, and opportunities to connect in intimate settings throughout the weekend. Additionally, multiple off-site afterparty options catering to different musical subgenres will occur simultaneously following the main event to carry deep into the night. Expect a full program of pop-up events throughout the summer to escalate the energy and re-unite the Deep Tropics tribe as they lead into the festival weekend.
Tickets for Deep Tropics are on sale tomorrow, Friday, March 17 – they can be purchased HERE.
