If New York is Music City in the North, then Atlanta is the Music City of the South. It’s where stars like Usher, Ciara, TI, and even Raven Simone got their start. In fact, there are so many Atlanta-identifying artists it would take this whole page just to name them all. And of course, we can’t forget to mention Childish Gambino (Donald Glover) who just released his self-directed TV show titled, appropriately, Atlanta.

All that to say, people who aren’t from the south don’t give the Atlanta music scene as much credit as it deserves. It’s not only where many stars are born, but it’s home to one of the most impressive multi-artist concerts in the whole nation: ATLive.

What is ATLive?

ATLive is a concert with some of the top names in music for the year, held at the Mercedes Benz Stadium in downtown Atlanta. You pronounce it ATL-live, Atlanta Live – it just looked better aesthetically not to include the extra l.

The show itself is part concert, part festival. It spans two evenings (late afternoon to late at night), and tickets are available for both or either days. Logistics wise there a few things to contend with, like parking downtown and a clear bag policy. So, start planning as soon as you buy your ticket.

Who Will Be There?

That’s a good question. The concert lineup is announced later in the year and will be on their website two to three months before the actual concert date. But if you need an idea of what to expect, previous lineups have included Keith Urban, Sugarland, Eric Church, Judah & the Lion, Luke Combs, Brothers Osbourne – and more. No matter who they get to play this year, we’re certain the ticket price will be well worth it.
