The Shaky Knees Music Festival will return this fall, after two cancellations last year due to the pandemic.

The three-day event will take place Oct. 22-24 at Atlanta’s Central Park. Event organizers will announce ticket details and lineup information soon, although one act - Alice Cooper – already has an Oct. 23 date at the fest announced on his itinerary.

According to festival guidelines, vaccinations are not mandated to attend, but are “strongly encouraged.”

In addition, Shaky Knees announced a return to its usual springtime appearance for 2022 – April 29-May 1.
