With less than a week to go before Music Midtown 2015 spreads out at Piedmont Park , it's time to officially start planning.

With the headliners starting at 9 and 9:30 p.m. respectively each night, at least a Drake fan could feasibly catch a sampling of Sir Elton and Sam Smith followers hear some of Eddie Van Halen's legendary soloing.

I, meanwhile, will be trying to figure out how to hear Daryl Hall & John Oates AND Billy Idol at the same time on Saturday.

This should be the most difficult decision of our Music Midtown weekend, right?

If you're still pondering a ticket purchase, head to www.musicmidtown.com  for details. Oh, right, and if you want to try to win tickets, you might want to head back to The Music Scene blog on Friday.
