This Week In Atlanta Music

There’s not much in the way of compelling tours passing through this week, but the weekend is massively overbooked with great local concerts. It sucks that Corndogorama isn’t happening this year, but we do have a nice slew of local festies highlighting different corners of the scene throughout the rest of the summer, starting with Hijacking Music Festival this Saturday at Lenny’s. Also, Kirkwood Ballers Club is taking things outdoors to the Beltline Friday night.
