Hot 107.9 Birthday Bash returns this summer in new location

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.

As typical for the event, participating artists will be announced following the ticket on-sale. Previous years have included such marquee names as Jay-Z, Cardi B, Kanye West, Future, Rick Ross, Megan Thee Stallion, Migos and Gucci Mane.
