The fourth annual Shaky Knees festival features another awesome lineup, including Florence + The Machine, My Morning Jacket, Jane’s Addiction (performing Ritual de lo Habitual), At The Drive-In, The 1975, Deftones, The Decemberists and Walk the Moon.
There will also be, believe it or not, Huey Lewis and the News performing Sports in its entirety.
Other top acts include The Head and the Heart, Cold War Kids, The Kills, and several bands that I’m especially thrilled to see in the lineup, including Baroness, Kylesa, Murder By Death, Eagles of Death Metal, Against Me!, The Front Bottoms, and Adia Victoria. And Houndmouth and Phosphorescent.
There will be five stages for Shaky Knees this year at Centennial Olympic Park and International Plaza in downtown Atlanta, GA. — that’s up from the four stages last year in Central Park. The festival is slated for May 13-15.
Advanced General Admission 3-Day Tickets ($215) as well as Advanced VIP 3-Day Tickets ($614) will go on sale to the public this Wednesday, January 13 at 10am. Regular 3-Day Tickets ($236) and Regular VIP Tickets ($692) will go on sale as soon as Advanced Tickets sell out. New this year, kids 10 and under are welcome for free with a ticketed adult.
Lots more info can be found at the Shaky Knees website. Also, the festival has a new spinoff event this year — Shaky Beats festival will be held the following weekend.
