Atlanta is nexus of all things music in the South, especially hip-hop. If you’re in town for a show, make sure it’s at one of these great venues.
The Tabernacle
This historic, all-around venue is located right in Centennial Olympic Park. Past performances include everyone from the likes of Guns N’ Roses, Adele and Kendrick Lamar.
Churchill Grounds
Music cities often have an excess of great instrumentalists, which usually means there are some good jazz clubs in the area as well. In Atlanta, your best bet is Churchill Grounds, which features local and international jazz stars throughout the week.
Eddie’s Attic
This is where you want to go to catch the next big star. Mondays are popular for open mic nights, but the place is most famous for showcasing artists like The Civil Wars and Justin Beiber before they became stadium-packing celebrities.
The Masquerade
For metalheads, the place to go is The Masquerade, which also caters to the punk and indie rock crowd as well. The three stages are named after the three destinations of the afterlife: Heaven, Purgatory and Hell.
Variety Playhouse
Like The Tabernacle, this venue sees a large variety of artists coming through. The great thing about this place is that it places A-list artists in a small, historic venue allowing fans to catch a rare, intimate performance from their favorite artists.
