Shania Twain To Headline Inaugural Concert At Nashville’s Geodis Park

Shania Twain is returning to Nashville for her first concert in five years on June 7, 2023. The one-night only show will feature an all-star lineup including Kelsea Ballerini and Breland, and will be the first concert to take place at GEODIS Park since the soccer stadium opened in May.

“I’m going out to Nashville! I’m feelin’ alright, gonna let it all hang out. Wanna make some noise, really raise my voice. Yeah, I wanna scream and shout. No inhibitions, make no conditions, get a little outta line. I ain’t gonna act politically correct, I only wanna have a good time!” Twain says.

“We are truly excited to bring our first concert to GEODIS Park,” shares Ian Ayre, CEO of Nashville Soccer Club. “Hosting top artists for concerts was one of the key focuses for our stadium design and it is fantastic to see this come to fruition. So many people have worked so hard to get to this point for soccer and for music and we could not be happier than to have Shania Twain be our first announced artist to perform at GEODIS Park.”

Tickets go on sale starting Friday, Oct. 28 at LiveNation.com, with $1 of every ticket purchased being donated to SKC. Established in 2010 by Twain, SKC provides services that promote positive change in children’s lives in times of crises and economic hardship, including one-on-one consultations, academic support and group activities, as well as nutritious snacks and meal programs in the Shania Kids Can Clubhouse. 

Twain recently released her career-spanning documentary Not Just A Girl on Netflix, and joins the star-studded cast of Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration in the role of Mrs. Potts, premiering on ABC Dec. 15 and streaming on Disney+ Dec. 16.
