The Chats opened the evening for a show they almost thought they were going to miss. Early into the performance, lead singer Eamon Sandwith noted that the trio had had troubles traveling, including with their gear. Thankfully, they were able to find a local music instrument company that loaned them gear for the show.

The audience was also thankful as the Australian punk rockers delivered a 45-minute performance that had the crowd thoroughly engaged. It was clear from the start that many in the audience were familiar with the group, as they sang and screamed along loudly with the band. It was a great way to start the show and to get the fans ready for the headliners.

Early into The Hives’ set, lead singer Pelle Almqvist declared, “After 33 years, we are getting better, better, and better-er.” It’s hard to prove that statement wrong, as the group was at the top of their game in Nashville, putting on a thrilling, fast-paced, and engaging 90-minute performance.

Just two songs into the show, Almqvist was getting up close with fans, walking the barricade as the group performed “Walk Idiot Walk.” “Music may be a spectator sport, but that’s not what we are doing today. This is rock-and-roll, and it requires participation,” Almqvist would later in the night.

That crowd engagement carried the band throughout the evening, making the performance fly by. Toward the middle of the set, Almqvist walked along the walls, hopping into the bowling alley, tossing a ball down the lane. He joked after the song that he did better the last time the band played the venue in 2022.

Then there was a moment during “Tick Tick Boom,” when Almqvist split the crowd into two, as he walked up the middle, high-fiving and speaking to members of the crowd. As the track hit the final chorus, the singer jumped with the crowd as he returned to the stage.

While they were engaging on and off stage, The Hives made sure to perform all their biggest hits, but also tie in their newer tracks off their 2025 album The Hives Forever Forever The Hives. While some of the audience may be unfamiliar with the new tunes, the group did a solid job of introducing them to the Music City crowd, including ahead of the song “Roll Out The Red Carpet.” Almqvist explained beforehand that this was a song the band had been working on since 2003, and that Nashville was getting to hear the live debut of the track.

“Whether it is good or not, inconsequential,” the singer stated. “It’s popular with the kids, according to all of the algorithms, so it’s good for us. It is testing well with every demographic. Are you ready to hear it?” The audience responded with a resounding cheer, as they did many times throughout the evening.

The Hives continue to prove themselves as one of the most can’t-miss live bands in music, and it will be fun to see what they have stored for the future.

NASHVILLE – The Titans have a new look, which was unveiled on the team's social media channels Thursday night.

The new logo, new uniforms, and some of the details included represent the franchise's history, and its home in Nashville, as it heads into the next chapter of Titans legacy.

The fresh new look pays homage to the Luv Ya Blue Days as the Oilers, and also incorporates elements of the team's nearly 30-year history in Tennessee.

"We wanted to come up with something that took the best parts of all of that and bring it together in a way that makes sense," said Burke Nihill, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Titans. "I feel like we're building on the legacy of what got us here, and we're doing it in a way that is going to set the course of this organization for decades to come in a pretty special way."

Let's get straight to the Tennessee makeover, and what the new Britches Report might look like moving forward:

-Titans blue jerseys and white pants/britches will be the primary look at home, with white jerseys as the primary road look, either with light blue or white pants/britches. The Titans will also have the option of wearing white at home games.

At home, the word TITANS is stitched on top of the numbers across the chest plate, and the away jerseys have TENNESSEE in the same place.

The light blue jerseys will feature white numbers outlined in red, and the white jerseys will feature light blue numbers outlined in red. Numbers will appear on the front and back of the jerseys, and on the shoulders.

The light blue, or Titans blue, color is unique, and one that was clearly popular with players, and fans. The team discovered this through uniform sales with the throwback Oilers jerseys, and through fan surveys and focus groups.

"I think that Titans blue is a really bold color, a really powerful color," said Erin Swartz, Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing with the Titans. "Seven other teams in the NFL have navy, but this color is much more unique to us. So, it's a way for fans to uniquely show their support, and really fill stadiums both home and away with Titans blue to support their team.

"We wanted to give them that tool to kind of stand out, as Titans fans."

-The primary logo gives a nod to the past, now without the flames. It features a redesigned white "T" inside Titans blue in a circle, with white and red accents, and all corners of the state represented through the familiar three white stars.

The logo will be featured on each side of a white helmet, which will include a white facemask, and a unique stripe across the top.

"I don't think it's a departure from anything," Nihill said of the logo. "It's more of an evolution of the best of who we've always been and who we want to be going forward. We wanted the uniform, and brand of the Tennessee Titans, to be the best of who we've always been. And the logo that we've worn on the side of the helmet for the past 25-plus years is part of the best of who've always been. There's a clear familiarity, and we wanted that.

"Relative to fireballs and swords and Greek, our hope is Mr. Titan shows up in full gear for the first game this year. That's been a part of who we've been, and those logos instantly become some of the best retro logos in sports. This just brings everything together in a way that feels like it is going to stand the test of time."

-There are elements of the new uniforms, and brand, that are unique to Nashville, and the state of Tennessee.

The previously mentioned stripe has a Nashville theme – it's a 6-string stripe that appears on the pants, sleeve, and helmet, and it features navy, white, red and Titans blue.

In addition to the white stars in the logo, three navy stars, located on the back neckline of the jerseys and tucked underneath the arms, represent the three grand divisions of the state of Tennessee.

The Woodblock font on the chest plate is symbolic of Nashville's creative spirit, traditional print making, whittle letters, and stack to run pressers. The numbers are inspired by traditional collegiate numbers.

Inside the jersey, there's a collar tab with the word "WE," and it's accompanied by Tennessee Tri-Star. The word "We" represents the team's "We Over Me" locker room mentality.

"When coach (Robert) Saleh came to the team, and we showed it to him, he loved it," Nihill said. "He loved this idea of '"we'" being the last thing that a player sees before they put on their jersey, that this is about the team."

The Titans also unveiled a secondary "The Football" logo, with the letters TN (or NT for Nashville, Tennessee) and three stars inside a football-shape outline, a cultural representation of the team's home and community.

Nihill said the organization looked "at everything" before deciding on the franchise's new uniforms, and brand, a process that stretched across a number of years and incorporated fan, alumni, and community feedback through a number of surveys and focus groups.

Ultimately, the team landed on a look that is uniquely Nashville, Tennessee, and the Titans.

The redesign coincides with changing times in the organization, from a new coaching staff, a reshaped roster, and soon, a new stadium.

"This is something that evolved over time," Nihill said. "I do hope our fans feel proud when they see it. I think these new uniforms, and all the other brand elements, are something people will respond to, and react to. During this process, the number of times that we heard: "These are the best uniforms in pro sports" weren't words we were putting in peoples' mouths – they were saying that to us.

"And now, this is the Titans unform."

NASHVILLE, TN —Dr. Mark Peacock, chair of the Nashville Symphony’s Music Director Search Committee announced today that Leonard Slatkin, internationally acclaimed conductor and longtime friend of the orchestra, will serve as Music Director for three years through the 2028/29 season. Slatkin assumes the role following his previous appointment as Music Advisor. Maestro Slatkin takes the artistic helm of the orchestra beginning with the 2026/27 season, for celebrations around the 20th anniversary of Schermerhorn Symphony Center, the 80^th anniversary of the Nashville Symphony, and celebrations around the 250^th anniversary of the birth of our nation.

Slatkin previously served as the Nashville Symphony’s Music Advisor from 2006 to 2009, during the opening of Schermerhorn, and he returned to the role in 2025 to once again serve as Music Advisor. As he resumed his long-standing relationship with the orchestra, it became clear to both Slatkin and the Music Director Search Committee that elevating his role to Music Director was a crucial step in providing outstanding creative direction and securing the continued artistic growth of the orchestra.

“This is a significant moment for the Nashville Symphony. Maestro Slatkin is one of the most respected artistic leaders in American music, and he understands this orchestra in a deeply personal way,” said Alan D. Valentine, President and CEO of the Nashville Symphony. “His appointment ensures we will move forward with clarity, a deep commitment to artistic excellence, and momentum. We are excited to partner with him in shaping the next chapter of the Nashville Symphony, one grounded in extraordinary music-making and expanded community impact. As my own July retirement date approaches, Leonard’s appointment as Music Director is also reassuring to me that I will leave the institution in the best of hands, artistically.” As Music Director, Slatkin will provide artistic leadership and help establish the framework for the Nashville Symphony’s education and community engagement initiatives, as well as its strategic direction. He will also conduct six of the 14 Classical Series concerts in the 2026/27 season.

“Twenty years ago, I was fortunate enough to be involved with the opening of Schermerhorn Symphony Center. Over time, the orchestra and I have continued to work together. Now, I feel this is the right time and place for me to be,” said Music Director Leonard Slatkin. “This three-year term will be the start of a new chapter for the Nashville Symphony. I will work closely with everyone to help develop a framework for the future. In a city that is developing by leaps and bounds, there is every reason to believe that the Nashville Symphony and Schermerhorn Symphony Center will be at the heart of this renaissance. I am privileged to be a part of this growth.”

“This appointment gives our orchestra exactly what we need right now: experienced leadership, artistic momentum, and someone who understands our organization and community. Maestro Slatkin knows how to elevate what makes this orchestra special,” said Peter Otto, Nashville Symphony Concertmaster.

“Maestro Slatkin brings extraordinary artistic credibility and a longstanding commitment to this organization,” said Mary Cavarra, Board Chair. “The Board is thrilled to welcome him as Music Director and confident his leadership will provide important continuity and momentum.”

A GRAMMY® Award-winning conductor, composer, author, and champion of American music, Slatkin has held leadership positions with many of the world’s top orchestras, including the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre National de Lyon, National Symphony Orchestra, Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria, Las Vegas Philharmonic, and St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. Recognized for his dynamic artistry and commitment to music education, Slatkin continues to appear with numerous major international ensembles, such as New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Hollywood Bowl, Atlanta Symphony, NHK Symphony Orchestra, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, Filarmonica George Enescu (Bucharest), Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, and Warsaw Philharmonic.

Slatkin’s engagement as Music Director will begin in August 2026 and continue through July 2029.
