Live Nation has released additional details and an image regarding its music venue to operate in Wedgewood-Houston.
According to a release, the facility will be called The Truth and is slated to open in fall 2026.
As Scene sister publication the Post reported earlier this year, the 4,400-seat live music venue will operate from within a 109,000-square-foot four-story structure under construction at 440 Chestnut St. AJ Capital Partners is developing the site, which will include an office building, as part of its multi-building Wedgewood Village project.
Designed by Blueprint Studio, The Truth space will include Harlan’s, a whiskey bar paying tribute to deceased country music songwriter Harlan Howard, and a listening lounge called Vinyl Room.
“The legendary songwriter Harlan Howard said all you need for a good country song is three chords and the truth. The Truth is built on that same idea,” Sally Williams, Live Nation president of Nashville music and business strategy, says in the release.
“Our goal is to create a space that could only exist here — where raw, honest music meets world-class production, and where fans and artists from across all genres can connect in a way that feels unmistakably Nashville.”
Relatedly, Live Nation is making multi-year commitments to the Nashville Songwriters Association International and the W.O. Smith Music School.
The Truth is expected to generate $74 million in economic impact for Nashville annually, supporting about 430 jobs and contributing $6 million in state and local tax revenue.
To primarily be clad in brick and offer a neo-traditional exterior design aesthetic, the Wedgewood Village buildings will supplement AJ Capital’s existing Wedgewood-Houston structures May Hosiery Mills and Nashville Warehouse Company. The latter includes apartment tower Memoir Wedgewood Houston.
