More people. More performances. MORE SUN.
Day two of Music Midtown 2019 kicked off with a bang with performances by legendary musicians like Hero the Band, Dominic Fike, Jaden Smith and MØ.
Jaden Smith rocked the crowd and literally shaved off some of his hair on stage. Yep. It was crazy!
Later on, Atlanta recording artist 6lack stunned his fans with his uniquely grungy, yet soulful voice, performing various hits from his recent album “East Atlanta Love Letter.”
Billie Eilish, the 17-year-old superstar and Music Midtown favorite gave us a breathtaking performance and announced via Instagram that she is donating a portion of her guarantee from her show to Planned Parenthood. The artist wrote on her instagram: “ATLANTA. one of my favorite places in
the world, to be in, and play shows!! but i do not love the state’s lawmaker’s decision to take away women’s rights. I still cannot believe we are even having this conversation in 2019. I’m donating a portion of my guarantee tomorrow to @plannedparenthood.
We need this organization more than ever. swipe up to learn more and sign the petition, and if you have any spare change, donate. you can seriously help someone.”
Headliner Travis Scott closed off the festival with one of his famous crowd-shaking shows. With spectacular lighting effects and fireworks, he had the entire park lit up. Along with his performances of his Astroworld hit songs, Scott brought on Playboi Carti and Offset to join the stage.
Overall, Music Midtown was an extremely exciting festival, full of energy and great music for everyone. We cannot wait to see what they have in store for us next year!
