Shaky Knees, the annual Atlanta rock festival, has announced what may be its biggest lineup to date, headlined by The Strokes, Gorillaz, Turnstile, LCD Soundsystem, Wu-Tang Clan, Twenty One Pilots, Fontaines D.C., Geese, and The Prodigy.
Returning for its 13th year at Piedmont Park, the 189-acre urban park located in Midtown Atlanta, the festival was founded in 2013 by promoter Tim Sweetwood and is widely considered one of the nation’s premier rock festivals, which also occasionally features hip-hop acts such as Wu-Tang Clan this year. Usually taking place in May, the festival permanently moved to September beginning last year.
Also appearing on this year’s lineup are alternative R&B artist Blood Orange; alt-rock favorites Jimmy Eat World; Detroit-based electronic duo Snow Strippers; alternative pop artist Santigold; English shoegaze rock band Wolf Alice; and Korean-American indie pop-rock artist Japanese Breakfast (Michelle Zauner), among many others.
Three-day general admission passes start at $319. The festival presale begins Thursday, February 26 at 9 a.m., with any remaining tickets going on sale afterward, subject to availability.
