FreakNik will return this fall as a three-day event celebrating Atlanta culture.

The 2021 version of the 18 and older popular gathering will take place at Morris Brown College Oct. 8-10 with a lineup including Adina Howard, Project Pat, Lil Scrappy, Ray J, Pastor Troy, JT Money, Paul Wall, 95 South, DJ Unk, Field Mob and 8Ball & MJG.

Tickets will go on sale at 9 a.m. Monday via freaknikfest.com. Prices are TBA, but event organizers After9Partners plan to reduce the price from previous FreakNik’s to make it “more affordable.”

The FreakNik festival has been trademarked to assure its standing as the only official FreakNik (organizers have experienced issues since the event returned in 2019 with unsanctioned parties marketing themselves as FreakNik).

This year, FreakNik will also provide a streaming option via omnisplayer.com.

Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
