Me and my boyfriend, Jeff, are HUUUUGE music lovers (he, more so than I). We love listening to music, going to concerts, and even partaking in music festivals. He has been to multiple festivals all over the country - Bonnaroo about 5 times, Coachella 3, Moogfest 3 times, Wakarusa for a few times and a few others. He's always introducing me to new music and going shopping for vinyls.
Music Midtown is a local music festival that is a two day event and features some pretty amazing acts: Coldplay, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phoenix and more. Just a few stops on the Marta train away, we go to Music Midtown every year. In fact, it was our third date!
Our first year - 2011
Our second year - 2012
Our third year - 2013
For 2011 and 2012, we saw all of the acts on the lineup because they had just two stages with the acts playing every other hour or two. This year, there were more acts and an additional stage so we had to divide our time. We saw both headliners: Journey & Red Hot Chili Peppers, Queens of the Stone Age, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Phoenix, Weezer, 2 Chainz, Tegan & Sara, Arctic Monkeys, Black Lips, North Mississippi Allstars, The Neighbourhood and Reignwolf. Friday was gorgeous weather and the perfect temperature of about 73. Saturday was rain rain rain allllll day and it was probably about 65 degrees. Luckily, from our experience with the Shaky Knees festival earlier this year, we were prepared (that was cold, hard, nonstop rain, but an excellent lineup: pictures below). We got as many corn dogs and funnel cakes as we could and avoided the porta-potties for as long as could and danced all weekend long!

Back to Music Midtown. It was an incredible festival once again! My favorites were Weezer, Tegan & Sara and Phoenix & Jeff's favorites were Queens of the Stone Age, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Weezer. Can't wait for next year!
