About Road to Nashville Outdoor Festival | Derby

Elvaston Castle Country Park sets the ground for Road to Nashville Outdoor Festival | Derby 2027, a country and Americana music event in Derby on Saturday 5 June 2027.

The Road to Nashville name was active by late 2025, with a documented event at The Nest in Nottingham, and a Derby edition was listed at Elvaston Castle in 2026. The format is outdoors.

Who Is It For?

The audience is 18+. The format is aimed at adult country and Americana fans, with line dancing, Wild West activities and roaming performers listed alongside BBQ and smoker food vendors.

Although Elvaston Castle Country Park has a children's play area, the festival listing gives the event age restriction as 18+.
