Blink-182 and My Chemical Romance to be top acts at Atlanta’s Shaky Knees Festival
The 2025 Shaky Knees Festival is set to bring an exciting lineup of musical acts to Atlanta, with headliners such as My Chemical Romance, Blink-182, and Deftones. This year, the festival will take place from September 19-21 in Piedmont Park, marking a shift from its usual spring dates at Central Park.
In addition to the headliners, the festival will feature performances by other acclaimed artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Lucy Dacus, Vampire Weekend, and the MarÃas. Deftones are scheduled to headline on Friday, My Chemical Romance will take the stage on Saturday, and Blink-182 will close out the festival on Sunday. A full lineup of all the performers can be found on the festival’s website.
For eager fans looking to secure their spots, pre-sale tickets will be available starting Thursday at 10 a.m. Interested attendees can visit the festival’s website to sign up and purchase various ticket options, including one-day passes, three-day passes, general admission, general admission plus, VIP, and platinum tickets. Ticket prices range from $160 to $7715, depending on the tier chosen.
The decision to move the festival to Piedmont Park and change its dates comes as other music festivals in Georgia, such as Music Midtown, have canceled their 2024 events. While representatives for the festival did not provide specific details about the reasons for the move, it is clear that the event aims to continue offering a vibrant and engaging experience for attendees.
Known for its diverse lineup and welcoming atmosphere, the Shaky Knees Festival typically features around 60 acts and draws in a crowd of at least 50,000 music fans from across the globe. Previous editions of the festival have seen performances by artists like Foo Fighters, Weezer, and Noah Kahan.
With the promise of great music, a beautiful park setting, and a community of passionate music lovers, the 2025 Shaky Knees Festival is shaping up to be an event to remember. As the festival continues to grow and evolve, it remains a standout destination for fans of indie and rock music looking to experience the best that Atlanta has to offer in the realm of live music experiences.
