Did you Know?
In the 1970s, Atlantaʼs beloved Fox Theatre was nearly demolished to make way for a Southern Bell office complex. When the news broke, thousands of locals united under the “Save the Foxˮ campaign, hosting bake sales, benefit concerts, and rallies to raise over $3 million. Their efforts worked. The Fox was restored, reopened in 1975, and later declared a National Historic Landmark. It is a testament to Atlantaʼs passion for preserving its cultural soul.
Why Big Acts Choose Atlanta
Atlanta consistently appears on major routing maps because it combines market scale, logistics, and production-friendly venues. The wider Atlanta metro, roughly 6.2–6.4 million people, gives promoters a deep regional draw across the Southeast.
Hartsfield-Jacksonʼs global connectivity simplifies routing for crews and international fans, which matters once youʼre moving a 40-person production and trucks. Venues range from stadiums to boutique houses (Mercedes-Benz / State Farm for arenas, plus The Tabernacle, Coca-Cola Roxy, and Fox Theatre), so tours can scale shows without sacrificing local demand. Finally, Atlantaʼs active music industry, festivals, and passionate fanbase mean strong local promotion and healthy secondary-market interest; all things agents check before routing a big act..
Pre-Show Plan
Heading to a show at State Farm Arena? Grab a bite at Ruthʼs Chris Steak House in Downtown Atlanta (inside the Embassy Suites, 267 Marietta St NW), just a five-minute walk from the venue. Think perfectly seared steaks, handcrafted cocktails, and skyline views of Centennial Olympic Park.
