More than 60,000 people stormed through Piedmont Park during the weekend to see their favorite musicians rock the crowd at Atlanta’s popular two-day festival, Music Midtown. The blistering 95-degree heat couldn’t stop one of the biggest festivals in Georgia with charting acts including some of the biggest names in music: Travis Scott, Billie Eilish, Cardi B, Panic! At the Disco, Jaden Smith, Lizzo, 6lack and many more.
With four stages, more than 40 performances, several activities like the Hyundai Backstage Experience and a ferris wheel, not to mention dozens of food and snack vendors to choose from, attendees were definitely caught up in the festivities all throughout the park. Several were racing from one stage to the next between performances.
Madison Beer performed her last show for the year and left the stage saying, “Thank you Atlanta! This was my favorite show ever!”
Lizzo, the viral rapper from Michigan, had the crowd going crazy while performing her hit song “Truth Hurts.”
Atlanta hip-hop artist Lil Yacthy showed his love for the city and had the entire crowd shaking the park.
Day one of Music Midtown ended with a massive uproar of love from fans as, the all-time favorite, Panic! At The Disco performed hits such as “High Hopes” and “The Greatest Show.”
