Shaky Knees has released the daily schedule for its 2026 festival, set for September 18-20 at Piedmont Park in Atlanta.
The three-day festival will bring another packed weekend of rock, alternative, punk, indie, and hip-hop leaning acts to the city, with The Strokes, Twenty One Pilots, and Gorillaz anchoring the weekend. Performances will be spread across four stages: Peachtree Presented by Verizon, Piedmont Presented by Allianz, Ponce de Leon Presented by Club Wyndham, and Criminal Records.
Friday kicks off with a later start as doors open at 4:00 p.m., while Saturday and Sunday open at 11:30 a.m. The weekend closes with major headline sets each night, including The Strokes on Friday, Twenty One Pilots on Saturday, and Gorillazon Sunday.
Shaky Knees remains one of Atlanta’s biggest music weekends, bringing national touring acts and rising artists into one of the city’s most recognizable outdoor spaces. This year’s schedule also sets up a few tough choices across the weekend, with overlapping sets from acts like Fontaines D.C., Danny Elfman, Turnstile, Blood Orange, Taking Back Sunday, The Prodigy, Pavement, Modest Mouse, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, LCD Soundsystem, Knocked Loose, and more.
Fans can view the full schedule, ticket options, and festival details through the official Shaky Knees schedule page and ticket page. All times are subject to change.
