Every act here passed three checks:

  1. It climbs at least 5 places with a town venue's fans, and at least 5 more than with a venue abroad of similar Qloo popularity.
  2. Its popularity is inside the tier's range.
  3. It shares two genres with the headliners.

Fans of any busy venue lift some acts; a venue abroad with similar Qloo popularity shows how much of the climb is this town's.

Of the acts that pass all three, the strongest Qloo match takes each slot.

The Basement East NEWChristian Lee Hutson entered Qloo's top 50 at 2nd once The Basement East's fans joined the headliners' fans. Pick a name for why, or switch a venue off above.

The AI's local pick, for you to check

The AI agent named these acts from what it knows of Nashville's music, then found them on Qloo. Qloo's venue numbers and the rule didn't pick them, and each takes no slot unless you add it.

  • Margo Price

    Popularity 89 on Qloo, inside the mid-size range (80–92) · shares Rock with the headliners

    The AI's reason: Nashville-based; her rootsy, soulful sound suits the funk, folk and blues overlap between the two headliners.

  • Bartees Strange

    Popularity 89 on Qloo, inside the mid-size range (80–92) · shares Rock and Indie Rock with the headliners

    The AI's reason: He has played Nashville's indie circuit and fits the Japanese Breakfast side of the bill.
