USA - Nashville River Stages is a three-day music festival held from 2-4 May in Nashville, Tennessee. Consisting of five stages spread over Riverfront Park in downtown Nashville, the centre district will be closed to traffic along the banks of the Cumberland River for the festival’s sixth year. Acts range from local singer/songwriters to national and international headliners and draw crowds of up to 25,000+ each year. There are over 60 bands booked and five stages for lighting supplier Bandit Lites to work with.

For each of the five stages, Bandit Lites is supplying a basic 120k rig. In addition, the two barge stages will be augmented with six Martin MAC 500s and six MAC 600s per stage. The bill inlcudes acts such as Def Leppard, John Meyer, the B-52s and Joe Cocker. "We are extremely honoured to be a part of this event as well as working with such a great production staff. The list of entertainment is incredible and we look forward to seeing many of our touring friends and are excited at the prospects of meeting others," said Michael Golden, Bandit Lites vice-president.
