Jorts Fest is Nashville’s premier (and only) denim-themed punk fest!

Created for the purpose of supporting local music and engaging our community through tight bands, tight Jorts, and Dozens of People!

Welcome to Jorts Fest, Nashville’s premier (and ONLY) denim-themed punk fest, where tight bands, tight jorts, and dozens of people coalesce for an unforgettable weekend of celebrating Nashville’s thriving DIY community! This one-of-a-kind punk extravaganza was founded by TJ Maher of Never Nude Records in 2023 with the goal of cranking up the Jolume and fraying the edges.

Jorts Fest isn’t just a festival; it’s a lifestyle. A lifestyle where every day is “Casual Friday” and you’re encouraged to unleash your inner rockstar while moshing in your favorite pair of homemade cutoffs and belting out punk anthems like nobody’s watching. It’s a celebration of freedom, community, and the power of jorts to bring people together in the name of loud music and even louder fashion. So throw on your japris, get some sun on those thighs, and get ready to honor the true fabric of punk — denim.
