Music in and near Atlanta, GA

Throughout the year, a seemingly endless number of Atlanta concerts unfold at famed venues around the city—so many, in fact, that the shows and their locations command a great deal of space on most lists of fun things to do in Atlanta. Musicians dazzle audiences at several outdoor venues, including the Atlanta Botanical Garden and Chastain Park Amphitheatre, which is enveloped by centuries-old trees yet sits only minutes away from major roadways. In downtown Atlanta, meanwhile, music fans can catch everything from jazz to rock and pop beneath the roofs of the Philips Arena, the Tabernacle, and the award-winning Fox Theater, which is so historic it has its own district.
