10 Reasons To Look Forward To Live On The Green

#LOTG2015 can’t get here any sooner.

1. It’s fo’ free.

Seriously. The entire festival is free. Use the extra money you’ve saved for some more Nashville hot chicken, artisan cups of coffee, and sky rocketing rent.

2. You can ride the wave…of people.

Tennessee may be a land locked state, but you don't need water to crowd surf.

3. LOTG keeps your social calendar in check.

This is your response when a friend asks you if you’d like to go anywhere non-LOTG-related on a Thursday night from August 20 - September 12th.

4. Everyone you know is there.

College students, art kids, frat boys, hipsters, and Eastsiders (who we all know cross the bridge as rarely as they can) all make the pilgrimage to LOTG each year because they can all finally agree on one thing: good music.

5. You can totally bike to it.

Skip parking and take advantage of the fest's free bicycle valet like a boss.

6. The lineup is always good. This is generally your reaction.

Cage The Elephant, Head & The Heart, Alabama Shakes, Capital Cities, Matt & Kim, Local Natives, City and Colour, Trampled by Turtles, Ingrid Michaelson, Moon Taxi, Delta Spirit, & more have played LOTG.

7. It’s more local than the produce at the farmer’s market.

LOTG is produced by Nashville’s ONLY independent radio station: Lightning 100!

8. It's a rain or shine event.

If it rains, they won't cancel the event (unless weather conditions become threatening to performers or the audience). And if it does, you may have the chance to take part in a nature made slip'n slide!!!

9. You could have your 15 minutes of fame.

or 15 seconds... on the jumbo screen!

10. You can dance like no one’s watching.

Because no one IS watching you—they’re watching the awesome performances on stage. If Taylor Swift can dance like this at an awards show with everyone watching, you can dance in a sea of people.

The 2015 LOTG lineup announcement is incredible!
