Drum Corps International has confirmed a major venue change for one of the most popular events of the DCI Summer Tour.
Due to a turf replacement project that is scheduled to conflict with the July event, the Masters of the Summer Music Games will relocate from its longstanding home at Middle Tennessee State University to Nissan Stadium, home of the NFL’s Tennessee Titans in 2025.
The newly-named DCI Nashville event presented by DeMoulin Bros. & Co. is set to take place on Friday, July 25, and will be the first time the DCI Tour has ever marched into Nissan Stadium. The move places the competition in downtown Nashville for the first time since 2017, offering fans and performing corps alike the opportunity to experience the world-class facilities in the heart of the Music City.
“We’re thrilled about the new venue’s accessibility, seating, concessions and air-conditioned club spaces, as well as nearby hotels and public transit, all enhancing the fan experience for this annual event,” said Eric Hjellming, DCI director of events.
The new location will make the Nashville event the only show outside of the DCI World Championships in Indianapolis to take place at an NFL team stadium. The lineup is set to include:
- Blue Devils – Concord, CA
- Blue Stars – La Crosse, WI
- Bluecoats – Canton, OH
- Carolina Crown – Fort Mill, SC
- Mandarins – Sacramento, CA
- Music City – Nashville, TN
- Troopers – Casper, WY
Tickets for the 2025 edition of DCI Nashville presented by DeMoulin Bros. & Co. are expected to go on sale Monday, March 31. Special discounts for groups of 20+ will be available.
