There’s no festival quite like Deep Tropics. Since their start, they’ve been pioneers in the festival landscape not just for delivering unforgettable music experiences, but for producing climate positive events year after year, earning the title to the Greenest Festival In North America.
Take last year for instance, through their non-profit Deep Culture, they diverted 96% of festival waste from entering landfills. Their carbon footprint is offset through global and local tree-planting initiatives. 2024 partnerships include Ancient Nutrition’s R.A.N.C.H. Project, Trees for The Future, Tennessee Riverkeeper and the wonderful team at Bicentennial Capitol State Park.
This year, they’re poised for their biggest edition yet as they revealed the name of each headliner starting Monday and completing today. House and bass music fans can rejoice, as this year is fronted by Kaskade, who will perform a coveted Redux set, RL Grime, Sofi Tukker, and Peekaboo.
Additionally, Deep Tropics will host a Sustainability Summit on August 15th, curated by Deep Culture. The Summit is a convergence bringing together industry professionals, government officials and engaged citizens across diverse sectors to connect, inspire and showcase regenerative solutions. Furthermore, there will be a Deep Culture Amphitheater Experience to kick off the second day of the festival on August 17th, featuring a transformative set curated by DJ Drez. From breathwork and yoga to meditation and dance, attendees will embark on a journey of self-discovery and connection.
“We are redefining the traditional festival model beyond entertainment. The long-term vision for Deep Tropics is to expand into a week-long conference that takes over Nashville. Think SXSW, ADE, Art Basel, Miami Music Week, but with a focus on regenerative design & wellness that is surrounded by amazing parties. The Sustainability Summit & expanded mindful activations at the festival itself serve as stepping stones toward that goal.” – Blake Atchison, co-founder of Deep Tropics)
“Picture immersive workshops, thought provoking panels, and captivating talks on regenerative agriculture, sustainable fashion, renewable energy, & holistic wellness practices. Within our event festival-goers will discover activities dedicated to rejuvenation and self-care, offering yoga, meditation, sound healing, and holistic modalities designed to replenish mind, body, and soul. Deep Tropics is more than a festival—it builds a bridge between party and purpose. It’s a vibrant expression of community, connection, and a commitment to the health of our planet through an immersive celebration of dance music culture.” – Joel Atchison, co-founder of Deep Tropics
