Atlanta Music Venues

From the symphony to indie bands to hip-hop, you’ll find nearly every musical genre performing in Atlanta at amazing venues. Whether you enjoy listening to music outdoors at Cadence Bank Amphitheatre at Chastain Park, prefer the ambience of the Fox Theatre or love to rock out at State Farm Arena, there’s a venue for you.

Buckhead Theatre

Originally opened in 1931, Buckhead Theatre sits at the gateway to Buckhead, one of the country’s most storied neighborhoods. Two years of painstaking restoration led the way for a grand reopening in 2010. The restored Spanish-Baroque architecture of this classic movie-house jewel is a seamless historical counterpoint to the updated state-of-the-art lighting and sound system. Embracing the deep musical heritage of Georgia and the Southeast, Buckhead Theatre has been the site of sold-out shows of every musical genre.

Cadence Bank Amphitheatre at Chastain Park

The Cadence Bank Amphitheatre is an outdoor amphitheater within historic Chastain Park, just minutes north of downtown Atlanta in the heart of Buckhead. Fans can enjoy a wide variety of live music each spring, summer and fall. Past performers include John Legend, Mark Knopfler, Rob Thomas, Billie Eilish and Adam Sandler. The venue opened in 1944 and claims to be “Atlanta’s Oldest Outdoor Music Venue.”

Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre

Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre is a popular venue for Broadway shows, ballet, concerts, educational shows, family performances, opera and events. Located in northwest Atlanta, this world-class facility creates diverse cultural, educational and entertainment experiences in the 2,750-seat John A. Williams Theatre, the 10,000-square-foot Kessel D. Stelling Ballroom and the terrace.

Coca-Cola Roxy

The legendary Coca-Cola Roxy Theatre originally was located in the heart of Buckhead and was one of the Southeast’s most popular music venues before closing in 2008. It was resurrected in 2017 as the Coca-Cola Roxy in The Battery Atlanta next to Truist Park. The intimate venue offers theater-style and balcony seating plus state-of-the-art sound, lights and production. Coca-Cola Roxy hosts approximately 40 shows per year and presents a diverse range of local, national and international artists and bands.

Fox Theatre

The historic Fox Theatre is one of Atlanta’s favorite venues for live entertainment. Each year, the 4,665-seat theater hosts more than 150 performances ranging from Broadway to rock to comedy to movies. It’s no wonder Billboard Magazine once ranked the Fox Theatre in Atlanta as “The No. 1 non-residency venue worldwide for the decade (5,000 seats or less).” Its striking red-carpet entryway and ornate gilt work, soaring turreted ceilings and stained glass windows all lead to a vast cobalt “sky” with a sea of twinkling stars, creating a glamorous place to experience shows.
