A circus is coming to Nashville. Here's when 'The Greatest Show on Earth' will be in town

Grab your popcorn and cotton candy, Music City residents. The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey will be bringing their "Greatest Show on Earth" to Nashville next year.

From January 24 to 26, the all-new reimagined circus will be coming to Bridgestone Arena.

The production will feature 75 performers from 18 different nationalities, showcasing over 50 acts throughout a two-hour show.

The show will feature BMX biking stunts, live music performances, the "double wheel of destiny" — two spinning wheels high above the ground — the world's tallest unicycle, and human juggling.

After coming under fire in 2017 due to the use of animals in the circus and animal mistreatment, the Ringling Bros. returned in 2022 with no animals .

The 2025 circus comes with a new revamp, including a new triangular highwire and a crisscross flying trapeze.

"Over the past two years, we’ve innovated and deepened the connection between performers and the audience, creating an unforgettable experience,” Juliette Feld Grossman said in a press release, the CEO and producer of "The Greatest Show On Earth."

“At the heart of every Ringling show is a sense of wonder and authenticity," she said.

"No matter the generation, every audience member will find moments that resonate, delivering the thrilling and inspiring experience only Ringling can offer."
