Thursday, Dinosaur Jr., The Promise Ring, More to Play Atlanta’s 2nd Wrecking Ball Fest | Aug. 13 & 14

What started as a 25h anniversary celebration for Atlanta‘s famed venue The Masquerade and has seemingly morphed into a stacked, annual punk fest, The Wrecking Ball unveiled the lineup for its 2nd annual event last week, set to take place Aug. 13 and 14 (with a pre-party slated for Aug. 12). If Warped Tour is the quintessential teenage punk fest, think of Wrecking Ball as tailor-made for the OGs, bringing together legacy artists and up and comers, ranging from punk to emo to indie to hardcore, post-hardcore, alternative, and more. The two-day, five-stage party will feature reunions from legends like The Promise Ring, Thursday, Piebald, and Hey Mercedes, plus a jaw-droppingly stacked bill boasting Dinosaur Jr., Quicksand, Drive Like Jehu, American Football, The Bouncing Souls, Deafheaven, Bayside, Joyce Manor, a farewell outing from Motion City Soundtrack, Nashville favorites Bully, Diarrhea Planet, and Daddy Issues, and SO many more. Seriously, the more we stare at this lineup, the more we think we’re dreaming.

The Wrecking Ball is set to go on sale Friday, April 1, with GA and VIP options, right here. Trust us, it’ll be worth the road trip. Check out the full lineup below!
