Nightfall welcomes headliner Sinkane to Chattanooga Friday, premiering his Afrobeat-inspired rock and jazzy pop on the Miller Plaza stage in downtown Chattanooga at 8 p.m. His band will be preceded by well-known local cover band, Flashdrive at 7 p.m. Nightfall continues its tradition of offering free, family-friendly concerts every Friday through July 4.
Chattanooga’s original free concert series, Nightfall is more than just a concert — it’s a community-wide gathering featuring a lively atmosphere with food trucks, cold brews, artisan vendors, and lawn games throughout Miller Plaza and Miller Park. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy everything the Nightfall experience has to offer.
Review for Sinkane:
Born in London to Sudanese parents and raised in America, real name Ahmed Gallab is a musician known for blending Sudanese pop with elements of krautrock, prog rock, electronica, free jazz and funk rock to create his signature feel-good vibes. A lifelong collaborator and curator of music, Gallab was nominated in 2024 as Best Composer, Lyricist or Book Writer by the Stage Debut Awards for his composition work on “The Enormous Crocodile,” which debuted in Leeds, UK. His music often explores themes of displacement, identity and community, drawing inspiration from his diverse background and experiences.
Review for Flashdrive:
Nightfall welcomes Flashdrive, a Chattanooga band known for its high-energy, versatile performances. They are a multi-genre cover band made up of experienced musicians playing a wide range of hits from various decades and styles, including rock, pop, funk and country.
This week’s performances take place on the Miller Plaza stage, Nightfall’s home stage. Across the street in Miller Park, enjoy games, artisan booths, shaded seating and picnic areas—all creating a festive downtown atmosphere.
