Tight End University (TEU) and Sports Illustrated (SI) are proud to announce the return of Tight Ends & Friends Presented by Reese’s, set for Tuesday, June 23 at The Pinnacle in Nashville, TN, with doors opening at 8:00 p.m. CT. Produced in partnership with Authentic Brands Group (Authentic), SI’s parent company, the concert event is part of TEU’s celebrated annual week-long programming and is poised to be one of the most anticipated nights of the summer. Tickets are on sale at now and fans ages 18+ can purchase at www.te-university.com.
Founded by tight ends Travis Kelce, George Kittle, and Greg Olsen, TEU has built one of the most unique communities in sports, bringing together players, legends, and fans each summer in Nashville for an immersive week of competition, camaraderie, and culture. Tight Ends & Friends serves as the marquee moment of that week. Last year’s inaugural concert exceeded every expectation, with Kane Brown headlining and a surprise performance that left the crowd speechless. The bar has been set. TEU intends to clear it.
This year’s artist lineup has not yet been announced, but those familiar with the event are already anticipating something extraordinary. Top-tier country music talent, high-energy performances, and special guests are all part of the evening.
“Tight Ends and Friends is everything TEU stands for: the brotherhood, the celebration, the fans, and the moments that nobody sees coming. What we built last year in Nashville was something truly special, and this summer we are taking it to another level entirely,” said Greg Olsen, Co-Founder Tight End University.
The return of Tight Ends & Friends builds on the growing momentum of the TEU and Authentic partnership. Earlier this year, the two organizations came together for a standout event during Big Game Weekend in San Francisco that drew a who’s who of the sports world and stood as one of the signature gatherings of Super Bowl week.
“When SI and Tight End University joined forces in San Francisco, the result spoke for itself. That event was the place to be, and we are incredibly excited to bring that same energy to Nashville this June on an even bigger stage,” said Matt Goldstein, EVP, Authentic Live, a division of Authentic Brands Group.
Tight Ends & Friends is presented by Reese’s with additional supporting partners Bud Light, Dude Wipes, Kinder’s, Cutwater, Raising Cane’s, New Era, Lewis Bakeries, Novartis, Gatorade Water, and Zenni.
“Everyone knows tight ends are the game’s go-to for blocking and catching, just like Reese’s is the ultimate combination of milk chocolate and peanut butter, making it the perfect match for this one-of-a-kind event,” said Melissa Blette, Senior Brand Manager, Reese’s.
