the latest from Shaky Knees (and the new Shaky Beats)

Several hissing lawns contributors had an amazing time at Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta last May (check out a whole bunch of posts), and I expect some of us will head that way again in 2016.

Interesting news that Shaky Knees is moving from Central Park to Centennial Park. In the festival’s relatively short life, it hasn’t ever repeated a venue.

Early bird 3-day tickets are on sale for just $154. If the lineup is even remotely close to last year’s (Tame Impala, The Avett Brothers, The Strokes, Interpol, Ride, Neutral Milk Hotel, and on and on), then that early price is an amazing deal.

Last year, Shaky Knees spun off a separate festival — Shaky Boots, which programmed a strong country lineup. For 2016, Shaky Knees has also launched Shaky Beats Festival, so if your tastes tend toward dance and electronica, you should definitely study the lineup:
