Music Midtown Is Back For 2023 With Billie Eilish, Guns N’ Roses, & Hometown Hero Lil Baby

Atlanta’s Music Midtown festival was canceled last year when pro-gun activist Philip Evans leveraged Georgia’s so-called “Guns Everywhere” law to challenge the fest’s weapons ban on the grounds that it’s held on public land at Piedmont Park. He planned to pull the same trick at other music venues in the state and even challenged the weapons ban at Zoo Atlanta last fall. But it seems like he’s either scaled back his efforts or Music Midtown is hoping he won’t come knocking again this year because Music Midtown just revealed its 2023 lineup.
