Summer’s over but that doesn’t have to be a bummer. Think about it this way: the oppressive heat is gone and the shows are still basically the same as they’ve always been. Read: they’re in climate controlled rooms and are amazing.
This Saturday, Atlanta has a couple shows in particular that promise to be must-go events. This leaves you with a bit of a choice. Both good options, but you can’t do both. Decision time!
Kiiara
with special guests Branchez, Lunice, and WERC Crew
The 22-year-old singer Kiiara has seen her star rise over the last couple of years.
