FirstBank Amphitheater
Franklin, TN · Amphitheater
FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, set in a former rock quarry south of Nashville, runs a clear bag policy. You can bring a clear vinyl, plastic, or tote bag up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches, plus a small clutch up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches that does not have to be clear. The box office sells a limited number of clear bags on site.
One strict quirk worth knowing, no outside beverages are allowed at all, not even water bottles, soda, juice, or energy drinks, and hydration backpacks are out too. Coolers, lawn chairs, umbrellas, and laptops all stay home. There is no bag check, so a non-approved bag has to go back to the car.
