Narrative:
[I] was working nashville approach on an IFR flight plan that routed us to the east of nashville; on a northwest track. Approach gives us an 80 degree heading change for vectors around a military operating area. We found that strange; as there were no notams; tfrs or moas depicting this activity. When asked what the deal was; approach said that was a jet practice session for an up and coming air show. We strongly feel that if a group of military jets are practicing for an air show; at least a NOTAM would be appropriate. We would have normally flown this route VFR and would have never known.
