Insider tips
- Take MARTA to either the North Avenue or Civic Center Station nearby to avoid traffic and parking headaches.
- To avoid a bathroom line, make the trek over to a stage with no performance going on. You’ll thank us later.
- Be sure to wear sunscreen and bring it with you, just not in an aerosol can as those can get confiscated at security.
- Wear a hydration pack to stay hydrated and save money on purchasing overpriced bottles of water.
- Food trucks serving up Southern BBQ, vegetarian-friendly corn dogs and more will be nearby to satisfy your cravings.
- Keep your wristband so that you can re-enter quickly, but don’t put it on until you’re ready to go in. They’re non-transferrable and non-replaceable.
- If you’re anticipating inclement weather, be ready. To avoid muddy feet, don’t wear flip-flops. Get your ponchos early, as they will be preferable to a rain jacket.
- Download the Shaky Knees app to create your own schedule and stay updated on performances.
