    Chappell Roan, Charli XCX and other pop stars are coming to the Nashville area but can you still get tickets? What to know

    Mark your calendar, Nashvillians. Within a three-week span in October, Music City stages will see performances from a handful of some of the most prevalent pop musicians on the scene.

    Between Oct. 1-16, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Troye Sivan and Sabrina Carpenter will all be hitting Nashville stages.

    Here's the who's who of pop stars to be hitting the stage in Nashville this fall — and how to try and secure some tickets.

    October 1: Chappell Roan in Franklin

    On July 16, emerging pop star Chappell Roan announced she is adding a show in Franklin, TN to her "Midwest Princess Tour."

    The "Pink Pony Club" singer will perform on Oct. 1 at FirstBank Amphitheater.

    Known for songs "Good Luck, Babe!," "Hot to Go!" and "Red Wine Supernova," Roan's rise to fame was a quick boom that saw her performing huge sets at New York's Governor's Ball and Bonnaroo .

    General on-sale for Roan's Franklin show began on July 20 at iamchappellroan.com , and fans flocked to the website. Roan also donated $1 from each ticket to The GLO Center, which serves the LGBTQ+ community in the Ozarks.

    Tickets on Roan's website have since sold out and Ticketmaster's message says: "Tickets are sold out now. Check back soon."

    Roan has been vocal about telling fans not to shop from ticket scalpers, and on the Ticketmaster link on her website , it says, "Resale tickets may exceed face value and prices are NOT set by the artist or artist team."

    After tickets went on sale for Roan's newly added dates, she took to Instagram, saying in a story , “Tickets for some of my shows sold out quickly and we are working to cancel scalper and bot sales as quickly as possible."

    She continued, “Please avoid buying tickets from Vivid Seats, StubHub, or other secondary sites as they will likely be canceled and we do not have any control over the legitimacy or pricing on those platforms.”

    Fans are not sure how to react to this statement, since sites like stubhub.com , vividseats.com and viagogo.com may be the only resort for tickets now.

    One Nashville fan, Maddy Bridges, gave all her efforts to grab tickets to Roan's Franklin show.

    After trying her hand in three regular sales and having no luck, waiting in queues of at least 15,000 fans and seeing tickets sell out, Bridges bought some overpriced resale tickets on SeatGeak.

    Then, Roan's team cracked down on scalpers, and her order was cancelled and refunded.

    "The entire purchase process was really frustrating," she said. Currently, Bridges has been left ticketless.

    For now, staying tuned to Roan's social media, and if fans have already bought tickets for Roan through a second-party vender, staying vigilant about their authenticity is essential.

    From social media posts, it seems like Roan and her team are on it.

    October 2: Charli XCX and Troye Sivan at Bridgestone Arena

    In April, pop sensations Charli XCX and Troye Sivan announced their joint 2024 tour.

    The duo's "Sweat North American Tour" will stop in Nashville at Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, Oct. 2.

    After the release of Troye Sivan's 2023 acclaimed album "Something to Give Each Other" and Charli XCX's culturally-altering album "Brat," which dropped on June 7, this show won't be one to miss.

    The release of "Brat," with runaway songs like "360," "Apple," "Von dutch" and "365," has started a phenomenon called "Brat Summer."

    While "Brat Summer" sees the embrace of break-out pop stars like Charli XCX, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter, it's also a lifestyle.

    It's a global proclivity for a shade of neon green and finding joy in being a woman who is a "little messy who enjoys to party," XCX said. "Brat Summer" is about embracing femininity, letting oneself feel emotions fully and reveling in a lack of polishedness.

    Now, other celebs have been quick to jump aboard the "Brat Summer" ideal.

    After Charli endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign online, calling Harris "Brat," Harris' HQ page on X rebranded to "Brat" neon green.

    To grab tickets to the wave-making Sivan and XCX's co-headlining show in Nashville, visit ticketmaster.com . Tickets are currently $61.50 and up.

    October 5: Remi Wolf at Marathon Music Works

    Queer pop star Remi Wolf is headed to Marathon Music Works on Saturday, Oct. 5.

    Wolf just released the album "Big Ideas" on July 12, with lead single "Cinderella" and runaways "Soup" and "Toro." You may know her for "Photo ID" with Dominic Fike and "Disco Man."

    Wolf has been on fire lately, and no stranger to Nashville. She celebrated her album release at Grimey's New and Preloved Music record store in East Nashville, giving a lively acoustic performance and a Q&A.

    Now, Wolf is headed back to Nashville on tour with opener Rachel Chinouriri.

    While the floor tickets on Marathon Music Works' page have already sold out, some VIP tickets are available for $140 and up at ticketweb.com through Marathon's website .

    Resale sites still have general admission tickets, going for $80 and upwards.

    October 16: Sabrina Carpenter at Bridgestone Arena

    Pop darling Sabrina Carpenter has seen an impressive summer as her hits "Espresso" and "Please Please Please" take the world by storm.

    She's been on the scene for a while, opened for Taylor Swift, and released six studio albums. Her upcoming album, "Short n' Sweet," comes out on August 23 with a 12-song track list that includes her summer hits.

    Fans can still grab some tickets for Carpenter's upcoming Wednesday, Oct. 16, Nashville show, a stop on her "Short n' Sweet Tour" with opener Griff.
