As a sustainability effort, Deep Tropics has traded paper flyers for packets of wildflower seeds stamped with its 2025 lineup. The music, art and style festival hopes to help music fans positively impact the environment by planting wildflowers and not creating additional litter. Deep Tropics will take place in Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park in Nashville from August 15-16th.

Focus on Sustainability
Deep Tropics is focused on redefining the role music festivals play with sustainability and regenerative culture. It aims to have 100% offset carbon emissions, zero single-use plastics and more in alignment with its climate-positive mission. The seed packets distributing the lineup are a metaphor for the community; each person holds within them the possibility to grow something meaningful.
