Nonprofit Freedom Forum will launch the inaugural Freely Festival in April, and it has tapped T-Pain and Janelle Monáe, among others, to take the stage.

The festival will “celebrate the power of music and the constitutional rights that make creative expression possible,” according to a press release, via “purposeful entertainment, artist storytelling, and interactive experiences that bring free expression to life in a way that feels relevant and resonant.”

It will take place April 8, 2026, at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, also featuring performances by The Killers, Dominic Fike and Avery Anna. A presale for the show begins Thursday at FreelyFest.org, with a general sale to follow if tickets remain.

Freedom Forum is “one of the nation’s leading voices on the First Amendment and the five freedoms it protects,” as per the website.
