Day Two of Shaky Knees Music Festival is Today

The Shaky Knees Music Festival at Historic Fourth Ward Park and the Masquerade Music Park continues today.

The two-day festival will feature 28 bands across three outdoor stages as well as local food trucks, artisans and vendors. You may still purchase tickets at Ticketmaster.

Today's lineup includes "Best New Artist” Grammy nominees, The Lumineers, as well as the Drive By Truckers and Oberhofer, among others. The show is curated by longtime Atlanta promoter Tim Sweetwood.

“I’m not trying to appeal to every music fan or break into territory that has already been well covered by other festivals,” Sweetwood said. “I’d love for people to be able to find enough of a connection in the lineup to be familiar with several of the artists. But I wanted to offer enough of a range musically that they could get turned on to an artist they might never have heard of but end up loving.”

Though the Masquerade Music Park has hosted concerts and festivals for years, including The Lumineers’ sold-out Atlanta show last fall. This is the first major festival in the recently completed Historic Fourth Ward Park that runs adjacent to The Masquerade club.

“The Historic Fourth Ward Park Conservancy and Atlanta BeltLine did such an amazing job putting together the park and it’s brought so much more life to the area,” Sweetwood says. “We’re really excited and grateful to be able to have access to the park’s event lawn for our festival site.”
