FirstBank Amphitheater is an open-air music venue located on the site of a former rock quarry in Franklin, Tennessee. The amphitheater has hosted concerts since 2021, and can accommodate a capacity of 7,500. [2]
The quarry at the site of the amphitheater had been used in the 1960s during the construction of the I-65, and subsequently abandoned with some 800 tons of faulty cement culverts left behind. [3] In 2014, the land was purchased by husband-and-wife business partners Rick and Nancy McEachern, who reportedly cleared 900 tons of trash from the site over the following year and a half. [2]
The venue opened in 2021 with a benefit concert featuring Florida Georgia Line, Maren Morris, and other country performers, [4] and has since hosted acts such as Zach Bryan, Cody Johnson, Willie Nelson, and Mavis Staples. [2]
