Mayor Andre Dickens has your Peach Drop plans covered. Get ready to kiss 2024 goodbye and welcome 2025 in style, because Atlanta's New Year's Eve Peach Drop is on, featuring an A-list lineup with none other than Big Boi leading the charge. In a statement made by The City of Atlanta's official website, Mayor Dickens shared his excitement for the return of the event, happening in the heart of Downtown Atlanta, citing the area's "historic and transformative renaissance."
Set to unfold at Underground Atlanta on December 31, 2024, the event kicks off at 6 p.m. with performances culminating in the ceremonial peach drop at midnight. Planning to attract more than tens of thousands to the scene, the festival is deeply woven into the fabric of Atlanta's rich tapestry. And Atlanta's own Ryan Cameron, a two-time Emmy Award winner, will be hosting, ready to entertain what he hopes to be "100K of ATL's finest," according to what he told The City of Atlanta's official website. Expect nothing less than big vibes from Live Nation, who's producing the event, ensuring a slick, seamless production.
Big Boi isn't the only star of the night though. The festival will feature electric performances by pop-rock sensation Neon Trees and the versatile Philadelphia native RES. Having shaped the very fabric of modern hip-hop, Big Boi's credentials as an artist need little introduction. Also gracing the stage, Neon Trees brings a track record of dynamic performances and consistent upward trajectory to the mix. Not to forget RES, an artist as seasoned as she is singular, marking two decades since the debut of her influential album "How I Do." Details about these performing talents can be found alongside their photos at the provided link by the Mayor's Office of Communications.
Prospective media attendees need to get their acts together by December 27, 2024, if they hope to secure a spot covering the event. Credential requests can be sent to [email protected].
