The season opener at Cadence Bank Amphitheatre at Chastain Park would have resonated with local ties this year with Big Boi's inaugural "Kryptonite Festival."

But the Atlanta hip-hop star won’t realize the dream of spearheading his own festival until next year.

The concert, featuring Big Boi and his pals in Goodie Mob, Earthgang and Kneel ‘N Rey, was slated for April 18, but will now take place in 2021.

“We’ll be back bigger and badder next year,” Big Boi said.

Ticket holders can receive a refund at point of purchase.
