This weekend, May 12 – 14, if you’re in the Atlanta, Georgia area, and, can handle an overwhelming amount of raging to some of indy-music’s top artists, head over to Centennial Olympic Park for Shaky Knees Music Festival for a rocking good time! Artists featured in the Shaky Knees lineup include LCD SoundSystem, Pixies, The XX, Phoenix, Ryan Adams, The Shins, Cage The Elephant, Wolf Parade, Portugal. The Man, Moon Taxi and many more.
If you’re a resident of HOTlanta, you may be wondering, ‘Wasn’t there a festival with a similar name at the same venue just last weekend?’ If so, you’re correct. Shaky Knees is put on by some of the same creative minds that brought you an electronic music festival known as Shaky Beats Music Festival. If running two festivals back to back doesn’t scream “We know what we’re doing!” I don’t know what does. Rest assured, people, this festival will be run in the complete opposite manner of Ja Rule’s Fyre Festival.
Continuing on with the top of organization within a music festival, Shaky Knees is encouraging attendees to participate with MyFest, the festival-goers customized to-see list. MyFest also allows users to connect with their friends to compare their festival roster and hopefully lead to linking up at some of their favorite shows (we all know how difficult that can be). Users can also check-out artists beforehand in case they need a taste before committing.
To participate with MyFest, simply follow the wise words of the festival's website; which are " by clicking on the horizontal bar at the top of the page. Simply click on the “MyFest” button."
Other critical information when it comes to the amount of fun you can have at Shaky Knees festival, is regarding the LATE-NIGHTS. This year, Shaky Knees is packed with late-night fun. From the X Ambassadors at Run River North to Portugal. The Man at Terminal X, to Anderson East at The Earl, among many others, the late-night scene will have you bouncing all over town until we hours of the morning.
Sounding like a pretty good time, right? Yea, we know. Fortunately, Shaky Knees tickets are still up for grabs. Just visit the links below, be proactive, and get ready to rock this weekend away.
