VAN HALEN To Co-Headline Atlanta's MUSIC MIDTOWN Festival

VAN HALEN, Elton John, Drake and Sam Smith will headline this year’s Music Midtown festival at Piedmont Park on Friday, September 18 and Saturday, September 19 in Atlanta. The annual festival, which began in 1994, will also feature chart toppers such as Lenny Kravitz, Billy Idol, PANIC! AT THE DISCO and Tove Lo.

“Every year, we strive to take the festival to a new level and this year is certainly no exception,” said Peter Conlon, President of Live Nation Atlanta. “With the addition of a fourth stage and this year’s stellar lineup, I think we have done it again!”
