The Shaky Knees Music Festival is a 3-day event featuring an exciting lineup of established and emerging acts in Atlanta, Georgia. What began as a 2-day festival, launched by music booking agent Tim Sweetwood to fill a void in 2013, has since grown into a 3-day extravaganza with over 60 musical acts across three stages in Central Park.
Named after the song "Steam Engine" by the band My Morning Jacket, the Shaky Knees Music Festival has been recognised over the years by respected music outlets, such as "Rolling Stone," which included it in its list of "50 Must-See Music Festivals."
