THE BAND LIGHT Announces Biggest Hometown Headline Show Yet: Lightyear 26′ at The Franklin Theatre

THE BAND LIGHT—formed by Jack Glenn, Konnor Dolberry, Garrett Goodrich, and Trevor Moon—first met as students at Summit High School in Spring Hill, TN. What started as a small, makeshift show in lead singer Konnor Dolberry’s garage has grown into one of Middle Tennessee’s most unique independent music traditions. Entirely created, produced, and staged by the band, Lightyear has become a yearly homecoming that previews new music, celebrates community, and brings together a passionate fanbase that flies in from each coast and drives hundreds of miles just to experience it.

This year’s edition will be the band’s most ambitious yet. Lightyear 26 will transport fans into the immersive world of THE BAND LIGHT’s upcoming project, featuring new songs, expanded visual production, and surprise special guests the band has yet to reveal.

2025 has been a breakout year for the group. They were hand-selected by Louis Tomlinson to perform at his Away From Home Festival in Upstate New York, released their September single “Turning Red”—now their top-streaming song on Spotify—and will follow it with a brand new holiday release, “Baby, It’s Not Christmas (Without You)”, arriving November 14.

Managed by The Jonas Group, signed to Kevin Jonas Sr.’s Red Van Records, and published under Jonas Publishing, THE BAND LIGHT have rapidly evolved from high school theatre kids to one of Nashville’s most exciting young pop-rock acts. Their blend of nostalgic boy-band charisma and modern rock energy continues to build a nationwide following—one that returns to Middle Tennessee every January to celebrate Lightyear as an annual family gathering.
