Shaky Knees Music Fest Lands in Midtown this Weekend

The three-day festival at Atlantic Station will feature bands across four outdoor stages as well as local food trucks, artisans and vendors.

The Shaky Knees Music Festival shifts from the Masquerade Music Park to Atlantic Station this year.

The event runs Friday through Sunday and after year's soggy event, the weather looks rather decent for this year's fest in Midtown. 

The three-day festival will feature bands across four outdoor stages as well as local food trucks, artisans and vendors. Event organizers expect about 20,000 people each day.

Sharing the stages this year will be The National, Modest Mouse, Alabama Shakes, The Replacements, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Spoon, Local Natives, The Gaslight Anthem, Violent Femmes, Cage The Elephant, Portugal The Man, Iron & Wine and many more.
