We’re a little over a week away from the third annual Shaky Beats Festival here in Atlanta, GA so let’s get up to speed and ready to dance like crazy.
For the last 2 years the festival has been at Centennial Park in downtown Atlanta. That’s changing this year, the festival will be nestled into the Central Park area of Midtown at the corner of Central Park and Pine Street. Entry gates will be located on Pine Street at Piedmont Ave and Central Park Place at Linden Ave.
This year’s lineup is a scorcher with headliners Marshmello on Friday night, Zedd on Saturday night and Kygo on Sunday night.
In addition to those headliners other notable standouts are Ludacris, Dillon Francis, Seven Lions, and Excision; plus other hometown Atlanta favorites that you might catch around town on occasion such as Ployd, Playboi Carti, and Lost Seekers.
While the festival provides all the great music that will have you dancing through the weekend with friends old and new, the festival will also have a ton of food trucks, VR experiences, photo booths and plenty of places to grab a drink and take a break under the trees.
