Atlanta is getting into the summer spirit with an onslaught of open air shows. The Atlanta Botanical Garden, Chastain Park Amphitheatre and more are kicking off their summer music series, and the Starlight Six Drive-In will have their awesome Rock and Roll Monster Bash too. Don’t forget to pack the sunscreen and drink plenty of water with your other libations!
Thursday, June 2 – The Constellations at Smith’s Olde Bar
If you’re gearing up for a party, then Atlanta’s greatest noisemakers, The Constellations, have you sorted. They’ve been on a huge tour with Minus the Bear, so be at Smith’s to welcome them home.
