NASHVILLE, Tenn. | Brandi Carlile is bringing her acclaimed The Human Tour to Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Saturday, Aug. 29, with singer-songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov joining her as a special guest.
The concert is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the downtown Nashville arena, according to the venue and Ticketmaster.
The Nashville stop comes as Carlile continues an extensive 2026 touring schedule across North America. Isakov’s official tour calendar also lists the Aug. 29 Bridgestone Arena performance as a date supporting Carlile.
A Major Nashville Stop for Brandi Carlile
Carlile, an 11 time Grammy Award winner, added the Nashville performance as part of an expanded run of The Human Tour that includes arena and amphitheater dates across the United States.
The tour’s expanded schedule includes stops in Nashville, Austin, Fort Worth, Charlotte, San Diego and other major American markets. The Nashville concert is one of several newly added dates on the 2026 North American run.
For Nashville music fans, the Bridgestone Arena appearance puts one of contemporary America’s best known singer-songwriters on one of the city’s biggest stages.
Gregory Alan Isakov Joins the Nashville Show
Gregory Alan Isakov will serve as the special guest for the Nashville performance.
Isakov has built a devoted following around his atmospheric folk and indie songwriting, making him a natural fit alongside Carlile’s roots influenced sound. His official tour schedule confirms the Aug. 29 Nashville date as a supporting performance with Carlile.
The pairing also gives the concert an added appeal for fans looking beyond a standard arena headliner show.
The Human Tour Continues a Busy Year
Carlile’s 2026 touring year follows the release of her album Returning To Myself, which debuted at No. 7 on the all genre Billboard 200, according to coverage of the tour announcement.
The broader tour has already included major American venues, including Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum, while the expanded schedule takes Carlile to additional arenas and outdoor venues throughout the country.
The Nashville performance is followed by additional dates in the Southeast and Texas, including shows in Charlotte, Duluth and Fort Worth.
What Nashville Fans Can Expect
The Bridgestone Arena show is expected to center on Carlile’s current material while drawing from the catalog that has made her a major name in American music.
The concert’s 7 p.m. start time and all ages listing make it a broad Nashville entertainment option for fans of contemporary singer-songwriters and Americana influenced music.
For a city known for live music, a Saturday night arena performance by Carlile and Isakov adds another major event to Nashville’s busy summer concert calendar.
Tickets and Event Details
Brandi Carlile: The Human Tour is scheduled for:
Date: Saturday, Aug. 29, 2026
Time: 7 p.m.
Venue: Bridgestone Arena
Location: Nashville, Tennessee
Special guest: Gregory Alan Isakov
Ticketmaster currently lists the Nashville performance for Aug. 29 at 7 p.m., with Carlile and Isakov included in the lineup.
Why the Nashville Concert Stands Out
The Aug. 29 performance offers more than another stop on a national concert itinerary. It brings two established singer-songwriters together at one of Nashville’s most recognizable venues during a major stretch of Carlile’s 2026 touring career.
With Carlile continuing to build on the momentum surrounding Returning To Myself and Isakov joining the Nashville date, the Bridgestone Arena show is positioned as one of the city’s notable live music events of the final weekend of August.
For Nashville concertgoers, Aug. 29 will offer a chance to see two respected voices in contemporary American music share one of the biggest stages in Music City.
