Your Next Trick: This Week’s Events in Atlanta

Paul McCartney - Got Back
State Farm Arena, Sun, Nov 2 - Mon, Nov 3
Sir Paul brings his “Got Backˮ tour to Atlanta for two arena nights with career-spanning setlists that swing from Beatles and Wings classics to solo favorites, big sing-alongs, and a band thatʼs stadium-tight. If youʼve never shouted “Hey Judeˮ with 17,000 other people, this is the moment. Expect a 2+ hour show and a wall-to-wall crowd. The tickets are in high demand.
Monday is lighter on demand and typically priced better than Sunday. If you’re patient, Monday has a higher chance of softening as showtime approaches.

$$$- Ranging from $420 to $500 for the Sunday show, the Sharecare Social Club (Sections T18 through T25) once again reigns as the best value in the building because of the better cushioned seats(see below in picture) as well as included food, beer & wine. Similar price ranges exist for the Monday

$$- Seats ranging from $360-$400 in the rear 100 level sections 111-115. They have very solid views, but no added food/beverage
$- More options on Monday than Sunday; Section 221 has face-value seats under $200.

Brandy & Monica - The Boy Is Mine Tour
State Farm Arena, Fri, Oct 31
Two R&B icons, one arena. Brandy and Monica are finally co-headlining, celebrating the 25+ year legacy of their Grammy-winning duet with a full-scale production (with special guests billed on select dates). Expect a nostalgia rush plus new-era polish. Big night out for R&B fans.
The Mars Volta
Coca-Cola Roxy, Sun, Nov 2
Prog fireworks, Latin rhythms, and breathless left turns, Cedric and Omarʼs genre- genre-melting Volta brings a standing-room floor and balcony seats to the Roxy. Itʼs heavy, hypnotic, and loud in the best way.
Tye Tribbett
Coca-Cola Roxy, Thu, Oct 30
High-octane gospel celebration from a multi-Grammy winner known for turning venues into joyful revivals. Big band, huge choir energy, and crowd-lifting call- call-and-response.

Collaborations Between Atlanta Musicians and Local Businesses
Atlantaʼs music scene is tightly linked with entrepreneurship. Greenwood, a digital banking platform co-founded by Killer Mike, aims to build wealth in Black and Latino communities, and has supported local businesses (e.g., financing Bankhead Seafood). Run the Jewels even teamed with Monday Night Brewing on a limited-release Southern IPA, the official beer for their shows at The Eastern, showing how artists and local companies co-create experiences. And while The Eastern is a performance venue, the surrounding Atlanta Dairies campus regularly hosts pop-up markets, reflecting a wider city trend where chefs and makers turn events into culture-and-commerce mashups. These crossovers attract tourism dollars, support small vendors, and cement Atlantaʼs reputation as a resilient, self-sustaining a creative marketplace for locals.
Pre-Show Plan
Headed to State Farm Arena? Stop by No Más! Cantina in Castleberry Hill. Itʼs a short walk. Order the Street Tacos (go with steak) or the Tampiqueña if you want a carne asada plate, and pair it with a No Más! Margarita (or a Santos margarita).
