Recap: Shaky Knees Music Festival, October 22-24

After being on hiatus as most music festivals and events were due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Shaky Knees Music Festival returned for its eighth year, with a diverse line-up of rock, pop, funk, blues, and even rap, with Atlanta’s very own, Run The Jewels, and classic rock legend, Alice Cooper, on his last tour date for the year.

Shaky Knees is one of the best festivals one can ever attend, with a unique line-up, featuring some classic acts, like Living Colour and Garbage, along with return staples like fan-favorites IDLES, Portugal. The Man, and newer discoveries like MammothWVH (Eddie Van Halen’s son, Wolfgang Van Halen’s band), Suki Waterhouse, and many others. The atmosphere of music, camaraderie, and three days of a very missed festival, the excitement exuded from the crowd, and the artists themselves.

Check out our extensive gallery of Saturday’s music acts featuring MammothWVH, Suki Waterhouse, Living Colour, Portugal. The Man, Alice Cooper, and Run the Jewels!
