State Farm Arena, Mon Jun 8, 2026

Rising country star Megan Moroney brings her Cloud 9 arena tour with a headlining night at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. Fresh off a record-setting run and riding momentum from her upcoming Cloud 9 album, she’s scaling up from theaters to full arena production: big-screen visuals, sing-along choruses, and a setlist that should blend new material with fan favorites like “Tennessee Orange” and cuts from Lucky and Am I Okay?. Expect a crowd heavy on hometown energy, from Douglasville diehards to new fans who discovered her through recent radio hits and festival sets. Artist Presale begins Thu, Dec 11, and General Onsale begins Fri, Dec 12

Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Sat Mar 28 & Tue Mar 31, 2026

Atlanta becomes the center of U.S. soccer this March with back-to-back international friendlies at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, including Belgium on the 28th and Portugal on the 31st. The first match delivers a heavyweight test against Belgium’s top-tier European roster, giving the USMNT a true pre-World-Cup benchmark. Three nights later, Portugal arrives for a marquee showdown that could feature Cristiano Ronaldo, making this one of the most anticipated soccer events Atlanta has ever hosted. It may also be the only chance to see the U.S. Men’s Team in Atlanta during the World Cup cycle, since all their group-stage games will be on the West Coast.

Ticket options range from ~$170 in the 300-level corners for fans who just want to be in the stadium, to ~$300 mid-tier 200-level seats with strong sightlines, to $600+ club seats near midfield for a premium match-day experience.

The World Cup returns to North America for the first time since 1994, and Atlanta is one of the premier host cities with eight total matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The atmosphere will be unlike anything the city has ever seen: global fanbases taking over downtown, color-soaked supporter marches, and knockout-level intensity even in the group stage. Whether you're chasing specific teams, picking games based on star power, or simply wanting to experience a World Cup match in your home city, inventory is already moving quickly across all tiers.

Lower-level seats put you right on top of the action, 200-level sightlines offer the perfect midfield balance, and the upper bowl remains one of the best value-to-view experiences in any World Cup stadium.

T.I.ʼs Grand Hustle Records was founded in Atlanta in 2003 by T.I. and his longtime manager Jason Geter, after T.I. left his Arista deal and began operating independently. Working the Southern mixtape circuit and booking their own shows, they built Grand Hustle into an Atlanta-based imprint before striking a distribution partnership with Atlantic Records. Over time, the label became home to artists including B.o.B and Travis Scott, turning a locally grown operation into one of the cityʼs most recognizable hip-hop hubs.

Atlanta is widely seen as a key stop on U.S. tour routes, not just because it sits cleanly between major Southeastern markets, but because of how it feels to perform here. Artists often describe Atlanta crowds as loud, generous, and fully locked in from the first song. Fans turn shows into a back-and-forth experience, singing harmonies, shouting bridges, and responding to every shift in the set. That level of participation gives performers room to play, creating nights that feel more alive.

The cityʼs venue landscape strengthens that appeal. Acts can begin with a close-up, intimate-feeling show at the Tabernacle, a historic downtown hall where artists can still see individual faces and hear crowd reactions in real time. As they scale, they can move to polished midsize rooms like Coca-Cola Roxy, built for touring productions that need bigger sound, deeper lighting, and more technical capacity. At the top of the ladder sits State Farm Arena, one of the Southeastʼs major concert hubs, where large-scale tours roll in with full screens, choreography, pyro, and arena-level acoustics.

Across the year, these venues host a wide spectrum of genres like hip-hop, R&B, pop, rock, country, Afrobeats, Latin, K-pop, and more, and the fan mix that shows up in each room adds to the atmosphere. Atlanta audiences pull from different musical traditions, and when they converge, they create a layered, high-engagement environment that artists notice immediately.

Because of that blend of engaged audiences, flexible venue options, and a long musical history, Atlanta has a reputation among fans for high-energy, sometimes surprise-filled nights. Itʼs a place where artists often feel comfortable debuting a new track, stretching a jam, or bringing out a special guest and trusting the crowd to meet the moment. Over time, those shows have produced tour stops that fans talk about long after the buses pull out, and this is the reason why the city keeps appearing on major tour posters year after year as more than just another date on the calendar.

Heading to a show at the Tabernacle or The Eastern? Start at Dancing Goats Coffee Bar on North Ave for a cold brew and a quick pastry, swing into Pizza Jeans in the Ponce City Market food hall for a slice, then take a relaxed walk along the Eastside BeltLine Trail before heading to the venue.
