Music Midtown 2014 lineup: Lorde, Lana Del Rey, Iggy Azalea, Bastille, Run-D.M.C. among 20 acts announced

June 25, 2014

Atlanta’s Zac Brown Band, Jack White and John Mayer will join Eminem as headliners at the 2014 Music Midtown festival

This year’s Music Midtown — the fourth since the fest returned after a six-year break — will set up at Atlanta’s Piedmont Park Sept. 19-20.

Also on the bill is Georgia icon, Gregg Allman, along with: Lorde, Lana Del Rey, Iggy Azalea, Bastille, Run-D.M.C., Fitz and the Tantrums, Twenty One Pilots, NeedtoBreathe, B.o.B., Mayer Hawthorne, AER, the Strypes, Banks, Sleeper Agent, Magic Man, Bear Hands and Ron Pope.

There won’t be single-day tickets this year, only a two-day pass for $125 (last year’s two-day price was $110). They’ll go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday via the usual Ticketmaster outlets. Fans with deeper pockets can opt for the $500 VIP or $1,000 Super VIP options, as well as the newly added $30,000 cabanas (no surprise that they are in limited supply).

Also new this year: more bathrooms; a new location for the artist market and the VIP area; covered entry walkways and increased entrance points.

Food trucks will continue to supply a variety of vittles, while those in the VIP/Super VIP accommodations will benefit from the culinary expertise of some well-known chefs.
