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.
