Shaky Knees 2026 Set to Mosh Through Piedmont Park in September
Some festivals are easy to understand at a glance. They fit in a standard format and their artists fall within a similar sound. Shaky Knees Music Festival has never operated that way.
In a single festival from September 18-20, 2026, artists of all stages of growth will share Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia to give a full picture of what ‘alternative’ can mean — somewhere between nostalgia and reinvention!
Since its inception in 2013, Shaky Knees has featured a diverse lineup ranging from smaller, up-and coming artists like Hotel Fiction and Showing Teeth to world-renowned musicians like Danny Elfman and Pierce the Veil. This year, they boast a killer set of headliners, including The Strokes, Twenty One Pilots, and Gorillaz!
