Ah, yeah, people! Music Midtown, the feast of hot bands, flowing beverages and throngs of passionate fans, is returning to Atlanta on Saturday, Sept. 24, at The Meadow at Piedmont Park.
The festival will host the best ensemble of talent on two stages featuring Coldplay, The Black Keys, Cage the Elephant, Manchester Orchestra, Young The Giant, Band of Skulls, Joy Formidable, The Constellations, Mona and The Postelles.
This year, a portion of the proceeds from Music Midtown 2011 will go toward funding recreation centers and after-school activities for young people in the city as part of Mayor Reed’s Centers of Hope initiative. Many of the city’s recreation centers and pools were closed in recent years due to budget cuts. During his first year in office, Mayor Reed reopened every recreation center in the city and began the process of transforming them into ‘Centers of Hope,’ safe, structured centers where young people can bolster their academic skills, engage in robust physical activities and develop character-building traits.
