Q100 is bringing back its fall Q-Topia, this time to downtown Atlanta with the Chainsmokers and Charlie Puth.
This year's focus will be more on newcomers including DJ
Marshmello joining the Chainsmokers along with acts Sabrina Carpenter, Bryce Vine, Loote, and JP from Cash Cash. And the name has become Q-Topia Fest as opposed to just Q-Topia.
The concert will be held on Friday, October 12 at the brand new Home Depot Backyard 11-acre outdoor space next to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with a capacity of 13,000.
Ticket prices range from $65 to $110 and can be purchased here.
Last year's Q-Topia was a bit more nostalgic featuring the Backstreet Boys, Fergie and Flo Rida, among others, at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Alpharetta.
The Chainsmokers, DJs by trade, have been pairing with other acts and hitting jackpot after jackpot since 2015. Its hits include "Roses" (with Rozes), "Don't Let Me Down" (with Daya), "Closer" (with Halsey) and "Something Just Like This" (with Coldplay). The duo's current single "Side Effects" with Emily Warren is at No. 13 on the Mediabase 24/7 top 40 chart.
Marshmello, a DJ, also pairs with singers and has two top 20 hit: "Wolves" with Selena Gomez and "Friends" with Anne-Marie. His current single "Happier" with Bastille just entered the top 40.
Charlie Puth has been just as hot over the past three years with “See You Again,” “One Call Away,” “We Don’t Talk Anymore” and “Attention.” His current single “The Way I Am” is at No. 21.
Sabrina Carpenter, a Disney actress, has a top 30 single "Almost Love."
