VOTE: What is the best music festival in Atlanta? | Best of Atlanta

What You Need to Know: Coachella
By
June 17, 2019

We love rock 'n' roll, so don't stop the music.

When we sing a song, we sing out loud, sing out strong, because we belong to the music.

So when there's a party in the U.S.A or the ATL, we rock and roll all night.

Do you prefer some uptown funk or a Midtown groove?

If the music puns didn’t give it away, our Best of Atlanta poll this week is all about music festivals. We invite you to share which one is your favorite.

If you don't see your favorite here, you can send your write-in nomination to us by emailing Stephanie Toone at stephanie.toone@ajc.com. If enough people send us a nominee, we'll add it to the poll.
