If you need help deciding what shows to attend, don’t panic. Here are our top 10 recommendations for concerts to attend in Atlanta in October:
In just two years New Jersey singer Charlie Puth has racked up a series of hits that have helped him to cultivate a dedicated fan base. From Puth’s seductive collaboration with Meghan Trainor (“Marvin Gaye”) to his contribution to the somber ode to actor Paul Walker (“See You Again”) and his more recent single, a reflective duet with Selena Gomez about a couple who has gone their separate ways, the singer has provided a hit for every emotional state.

Rae Sremmurd knows how to start a party and that’s exactly what they’re scheduled to do at The Tabernacle on Oct. 2. The Mississippi duo will be joined by rapper Lil Yachty, but the highlight of the show will definitely be if Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane makes a surprise appearance to perform “Black Beatles,” his new collaboration with the brothers.
