The Atlanta-based Shaky Knees Festival is officially slated 2025 featuring an epic lineup. Set to take place from September 19 to 21 at Piedmont Park, the festival marks its 12th year with a dynamic roster of headliners and performers. Shaky Knees' decision to move from its traditional spring slot to fall dates aligns with other music festivals adjusting their schedules, such as Music Midtown taking a hiatus. This change promises a refreshing experience for festival-goers as Shaky Knees steps into the September spotlight.

Headlining the festival this year are legendary bands that defined the '90s and '00s, including My Chemical Romance, Blink-182, and Deftones. These bands are set to bring their timeless hits and electric performances to the main stage, providing a nostalgic yet fresh musical experience. Complementing these headliners are performances by a diverse mix of artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Vampire Weekend, Alabama Shakes, and “Weird Al” Yankovic, among others. The festival's lineup is a testament to its commitment to showcasing a spectrum of musical talents, from indie-pop with the Marías to the revolutionary sounds of Public Enemy.

Notably, the festival will feature performances across four stages, delivering over 50 acts that encompass a variety of genres, ensuring there's something for every music lover. This year's lineup includes well-known acts like Cage The Elephant, Alabama Shakes' first performance in years, and Lucy Dacus, further illustrating the festival's dedication to offering a comprehensive musical journey. With bands like TV on the Radio, the Black Keys, and the rare and exhilarating presence of Devo and the Pixies, Shaky Knees continues to solidify its reputation as a premier destination for rock and alternative rock enthusiasts.

Beyond the music, Shaky Knees enhances the festival experience with various ticket options, including VIP and Platinum packages that offer exclusive amenities. These packages provide visitors with prime viewing areas, access to a VIP lounge with dedicated bars, private restrooms, and onsite food vendors. Platinum ticket holders enjoy onstage viewing opportunities and access to the Park Tavern lounge, complete with a complimentary full-service bar and curated meals. For those looking for a more immersive festival experience, the Ultimate Ticket Package offers unique vantage points within the festival grounds and access to the Artist Village.

As the festival dates approach, presale tickets are set to become available, with offers like layaway plans to make attendance more accessible to fans. Pre-sales promise to engage fans eager to be part of this vibrant musical tapestry woven into the fabric of Atlanta’s Piedmont Park. With expected crowds of over 50,000 attendees, Shaky Knees 2025 is set to offer a weekend of unforgettable performances and celebratory revelry.
