In March, organizers for the SoCo Music Experience announced that Queens of the Stone Age would headline this year’s Centennial Park edition of the free festival. Not anymore. No reason has been given, except for the usual “circumstances beyond our control” statement from the Queens’ spokesperson, according to a release from the festival’s publicists.
Nouveau-punk Floridians Against Me! will now occupy the show’s top spot when the fest returns for its third year at Centennial Olympic Park on May 17. Like the title sponsor, the event is for folks age 21 and over.
Support acts remain Ghostland Observatory, Supersuckers, Ryan Shaw and Bang Camaro.
Previous Atlanta editions of the festival have featured the Flaming Lips, The Roots, Son Volt, De La Soul, Sick Puppies, Cypress Hill, Mickey Avalon and Galactic.
Atlanta is one of six cities that will host the SoCo Music Experience this year, with Denver and New York being added for the first time. For more info and updates, check the event’s site.
