Highway of Hits

Fly from the UK to Nashville, USA.

Welcome to Music City, where the neon lights of Broadway beckon and every corner tells a story. Spend your days exploring honky-tonks, visiting the Country Music Hall of Fame and soaking up that unmistakable Nashville energy. The highlight? The Grand Ole Opry Premium Lounge Pass with Artist Visit—an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience at country music's most famous stage. Meet the artists, feel the history and witness why this venue has been the heart of country music since 1925.

Cross into Tennessee's western corner where the Mississippi River rolls and the spirit of Rock 'n' roll was born. Dive deep into the city's musical soul with a visit to the Memphis Rock n Soul Museum and Memphis Music Hall of Fame —a journey through the birth of rock, soul and everything in between. Don't miss Beale Street's legendary blues clubs, Elvis's Graceland and Sun Studio where legends like Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis recorded their first hits. Memphis doesn't just play music—it lives it.

Journey into the heart of the Mississippi Delta, where the blues were born from cotton fields and crossroads legends. Clarksdale is small-town America with an outsized musical legacy. Explore Ground Zero Blues Club (co-owned by Morgan Freeman), the Delta Blues Museum and the mythical crossroads where Robert Johnson allegedly sold his soul for guitar mastery. This is raw, authentic blues country—no polish, no pretence, just pure emotion poured into twelve bars.

Elvis has entered the building—or rather, you're entering his birthplace. Tupelo is where the King of Rock 'n' roll took his first breath and first steps toward immortality. Visit the humble two-room house where Elvis was born, explore the Elvis Presley Museum and walk the streets that shaped a legend. It's a pilgrimage every music fan should make—intimate, moving and surprisingly down-to-earth. From these modest beginnings, the world would never be the same.

Welcome to the unlikely capital of soul music. Muscle Shoals may be small, but its sound is enormous—this is where Aretha Franklin, The Rolling Stones and countless others recorded timeless hits. The crown jewel? Your visit to Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, where you'll stand in the very room where “Brown Sugar”, “I’ll Take You There” and “Wild Horses” came to life. Nearby in Tuscumbia, the quirky Rattlesnake Saloon offers a true taste of the Deep South, hidden beneath a vast natural rock shelter.

Your musical journey concludes with a cosmic twist in Huntsville, Alabama's Rocket City. After days of earthly rhythms, reach for the stars at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center—home to Space Camp and an incredible collection of space memorabilia. It's a fascinating contrast: from the soulful sounds of the South to the silent vastness of space exploration. Huntsville proves Alabama isn't just about music—it's also where America's space dreams took flight. 

Drive from Huntsville to Nashville, then fly to the UK.
