About this show

Robert Glasper brings the Code Derivation Tour routing to Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville, TN on Friday, August 7, 2026. The booking pairs the act with a open-air amphitheater (6,800-capacity), which sits at the mid-size end of the room sizes on this tour. Front-of-house mixes are typically transparent rather than loud; subtle dynamics translate well from these rooms.

The Code Derivation Tour routing builds on Robert Glasper's catalog (the act traces its origin to Houston, TX) and draws on the act's most recent body of work. Jazz and blues touring favors theaters and listening rooms over arenas, with seated audiences and minimal between-song downtime.

Setlists from earlier on this run have generally landed between fifteen and twenty songs, with at least one extended encore.

Expect a brisk security line in the first thirty minutes after doors; entry tends to ease as the support set begins.

Public transit is the most reliable way to arrive — surface parking near the venue fills well before the printed start time.

Tickets for Ascend Amphitheater typically clear primary in the first wave; resale activity is steadiest in the final ten days before the show.

Accessible viewing platforms at this venue are first-come within their respective sections; arriving with doors usually secures a sightline.

Merch lines at the front-of-house stand can run twenty to forty minutes during set breaks; the side-stand near the lobby is usually faster.

Tickets, official venue policies, and any updated start times should be confirmed via Ascend Amphitheater's box office on the day of the show. A regional opener is expected to fill the support slot.
