Big changes are coming to Atlanta's music festival scene as the Shaky Knees Festival moves to a new location. The popular rock festival will shift from its usual early May dates to September 19-21, 2025, at Piedmont Park, previously home to Music Midtown, according to an announcement on its website, as reported by FOX 5 Atlanta.
In a surprising turn, the dates and location once reserved for Music Midtown, which was not held this year, will now host Shaky Knees. The festival will take place at Piedmont Park from September 19-21, 2025, with over 60 bands expected to perform. While the lineup is not yet announced, fans can anticipate a mix of big names and new acts, as reported by 11Alive.
Since its debut in 2013, Shaky Knees has become a favorite among rock fans, featuring performances by legends like Arcade Fire, Foo Fighters, and The Lumineers, along with emerging talents eager to make their mark—a blend of classic and new rock.
The future of Music Midtown remains uncertain, with the event currently "on hiatus," as noted by 11Alive. Organizers have not shared any plans for 2025.
