If there was a live music event not to miss over the weekend, it was The Road To Nashville tour that on Saturday brought country music fans new and old to Swindon’s MECA offering a mix of country music icons from past to present.

The resurgence in country music in recent times across the UK has seen more country music events, venues and big names form the US spring up, as the popularity of country music has gone mainstream, bringing a whole new generation of fans.

The show that returned to Swindon for its second show in less than a year certainly lived up to the hype, with some of the best country music tribute acts in the UK performing on stage, from OG Garth Brooks and Dolly Parton, to Luke Combes, Morgan Wallen and Ella Langley.

As well as great live music, there was plenty of fun with vintage games, rodeo bull and themed decor for the perfect Nashville selfie opportunity.
