Nashville Show ??? (August 6th)

[ryno11111]

Anyone hearing any scuttlebutt about an August 6th show in Nashville at the soon-to-be opening "West Riverfront Amphitheater"?  A friend of mine who works at a couple of local music venues told me about an upcoming announcement, but there is no mention on MMJ's website.  The city of Nashville just unveiled their opening lineup of performers for the new venue today, also with no mention of MMJ (link below)

However, a quick google search led me to these links below which do show an August 6th date at the new amphitheater....

They are in Orlando on August 4, and Atlanta on August 7 & 8.  It doesn't make sense for them to drive from Orlando thru ATL to Nashville, just to turn around and head back to ATL the next day.

Also, I don't know how Bonnaroo's contract restrictions might affect this.  I know there are certain parameters that they can't play within a certain radius or timeframe before or after the festival.   

I am so confused.   Somebody please tell me this is happening.

I think the speculation is that it can't be announced this far ahead of Bonnaroo. But many many people have talked about this show on this date.

If it's on their management's page,  then one would think that would be reliable.

Thanks for the responses guys.  My fingers are certainly crossed.  It has been too long since we've had a proper MMJ throwdown.
