This announcement comes just days after the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival was completely canceled for the second year in a row, after being postponed from its usual spring dates.
Stevie Nicks, set to headline this fall’s Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta’s Central Park, canceled all of her 2021 dates. Shaky Knees has already found a replacement in the Foo Fighters.
Music Midtown joins several Atlanta venues in requiring vaccines or a negative test.
