The fifth iteration of Deep Tropics’ boutique festival returns to Music City on August 18-19, 2023. It is a carefully curated, music, art, & style experience at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park in Nashville's beloved Germantown neighborhood from 3PM-11PM each day.
Deep Tropics has created an entire program of pre-parties, day-time events, workshops and opportunities to connect in intimate settings throughout the weekend. Additionally, multiple off-site afterparty options catering to different musical subgenres will occur simultaneously following the main event to carry us deep into the night. Expect a full program of pop-up events throughout the summer to escalate the energy and re-unite our tribe as we lead into the festival weekend.
Deep Tropics is produced by forward-thinking, dance music enthusiasts at Full Circle Presents. The creative site and stage design will take the energy to stratospheric levels. The one-of-a-kind amphitheater in the park ensures every viewpoint is perfect with a beautiful downtown skyline view in the backdrop. It will host the massive, ancient temple inspired stage called “Meru”, a brand new stage dubbed “Lotus” and a third performance space known as the “Congo Soundsystem”. Intricate lasers, choreographed LED, moving lights, and art installs will illuminate the park. The venue is less than a mile from auxiliary party locations, downtown Nashville, and some of the city’s coolest districts.
Deep Tropics’ mission is to be the greenest festival in the United States. We are a climate positive event which simply means we create more energy than we use. These efforts are fueled by our non-profit organization Deep Culture, Inc which exists to curate experiences that activate transformation of self, community, and planet. Deep Tropics has a zero waste initiative to ensure everything is either recyclable, compostable, or re-usable. Regenerative design is at the forefront of every aspect of the festival. In 2022 we planted 23,150 trees with Trees for The Future along with 471 trees planted locally by Root Nashville. We diverted 93% of waste from the landfill which included 650 lbs of compost. Many of Deep Tropics’ art projects are created from sustainable materials such as hempcrete & aircrete.

Waveclub is a Deep Tropics event series that brings Nashville together at unique outdoor venues throughout the summer.
It’s a celebration of forward-thinking electronic music and local culture. These iconic all-day pool parties lead up to Deep Tropics Music Art & Style Festival in August, but each Waveclub stands alone.
Each party boasts multiple stages of music from international producers and DJs as well as Nashville’s favorite tastemakers.
Food and beverage vendors keep us happy and hydrated as a day of poolside revelry unfolds on the grounds of a private estate. Waveclub is open to all Tropic Travelers, but the venue is private. We keep the mystique and privacy of the venue sacred while promoting inclusivity and green initiatives.
Waveclub is better experienced than explained, and we hope to see you there in May.
