The Hot 107.9 Birthday Bash will return this summer in a new outdoor location to better implement COVID-19 safety protocols.

The annual event – usually held at State Farm Arena – will celebrate its 25th birthday with a July 17 bash at Georgia State University’s Center Parc Stadium. Last year’s gathering to celebrate the station’s silver anniversary was canceled due to the pandemic.
