Shaky Knees Music Festival Returns to Piedmont Park
Get ready, music lovers! The Shaky Knees Music Festival is back and better than ever, taking place from September 19-21 in the heart of Atlanta's vibrant Piedmont Park.
This year's lineup is a veritable feast for the ears, with headliners Deftones on Friday, My Chemical Romance on Saturday, and Blink-182 on Sunday. Joining them are a host of other talented acts, including "Weird Al" Yankovic, Alabama Shakes, Vampire Weekend, Cage the Elephant, Lenny Kravitz, the Black Keys, Sublime, and Pixies.
The festival gates will open at 4 p.m. on Friday and 11:30 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. The headliners are scheduled to end at 10 p.m., ensuring a full day and night of music for attendees.
The festival will be spread out between 10th Street and the southern shore of the lake, and between Piedmont Avenue NE and the Atlanta Beltline. Conveniently, there are multiple entrances to the festival, including one adjacent to the Atlanta Beltline.
For those planning to attend, it's worth noting that no parking is associated with the festival, encouraging the use of public transit. The Midtown MARTA station is near the Shaky Knees festival entrance, making it easy to get to and from the event.
Also, it's important to be aware of the items that are not allowed at the festival. These include monopods, selfie sticks, tripods or GoPro mounts, coolers, professional audio or video equipment, drones, hammocks, glass, outside food, umbrellas, pets other than service animals, bicycles, carts, chairs, and more. A full list of prohibited items can be found on the festival's website.
However, there are some items that are permitted, such as clear plastic bags 12'' x 6'' x 12 or smaller, strollers, frisbees, blankets, cameras without detachable lenses, reusable water bottles, sunscreen in non-aerosol form, personal hand sanitizer, battery packs, misting fans, hydration packs, prescription medicine in the pharmacy-labeled container with the prescription, dosage, and patient name.
For those concerned about the weather, our First Alert Forecast sees very low chances of rain on Friday and Saturday. Friday will be mostly sunny and Saturday will be partly cloudy. Sunday is in the clear.
Another convenience for festival-goers is the availability of lockers on site, and a map of food vendors can be found on the Shaky Knees website.
Please note that you can leave and re-enter Shaky Knees any time before 7 p.m., but you have to go through security each time. Also, Saturday-only tickets and three-day tickets for the festival are sold out, but tickets for Friday and Sunday are still available.
In conclusion, the Shaky Knees Music Festival promises to be an unforgettable experience for music fans of all ages. With its stellar lineup, convenient location, and easy access via public transit, it's an event not to be missed. So mark your calendars and get ready to shake your knees at Piedmont Park this September!
