After an 11-year run, Music Midtown had to shut down after bad weather and a small turnout in 2005. But, after a 6 year hiatus, Music Midtown is now returning to Atlanta!

The festival will feature a craft fair, tons of great food, and of course music! This year’s festival will feature plenty of great bands like Coldplay, Cage the Elephant, The Black Keys, Young The Giant, and the Manchester Orchestra just to name a few. For a full list of bands check out the full schedule.

Music Midtown will take place on September 24, 2011 from 1pm – 11pm at the 10th Street Meadow at Piedmont Park. Tickets are $55 (plus a $1 donation to the Centers of Hope) and are on sale now online, by phone by calling 1-800-745-3000, or at The Tabernacle Box Office every Friday from 10am until 4pm.
