ATLANTA - One of Atlanta's biggest music festivals is back and is bringing P!nk, Billie Eilish, and many more big stars to the city
Music Midtown, the annual music festival hosted at Piedmont Park, released its 2023 lineup Tuesday.
The highly-anticipated festival, set for Friday, Sept. 15 through Sunday, Sept. 17 is headlined by some of the most famous names in pop, rock, and rap.
The festival features a lineup of more than 40 bands and artists spanning all types of genres across its stages.

The announcement was a very big deal for staff at Zocalo Mexican Kitchen and Cantina near Piedmont Park. One of the restaurant's partners, Luz Martinez, said with the event canceled last year, the business took a major hit.
"My staff is like, like really jumping out of their veins or bodies, everybody's super, super, super excited," said Martinez. "Thank God."
Pop music icon P!nk and Australian DJ Flume will headline the first night, followed by Gen Z Grammy-winner Billie Eilish and indie rockers The 1975 Saturday. Finishing the festival will be Los Angeles rock legends Guns N' Roses and Atlanta rapper Lil Baby.
"It's like a whole party, like three days all day long," she said.
Established in 1994, the Atlanta-based festival will be celebrating 29 years of music and fun.
The festival was canceled last year after organizers said there were "circumstances beyond our control."
While organizers did not specifically say the reason behind the cancelation, Billboard reported industry sources connecting the cancelation to Georgia's "Safe Carry Protection Act." The 2014 law allows guns on government land and in government buildings, with some exceptions.
FOX 5 spoke to people at Piedmont Park Tuesday who were also excited.
"It's a great opportunity for people to come and listen to music," said Julie Mckie.
"It was like completely out of the blue, I was like, oh, like Midtown Music," said Ammar Askar. "I thought that stuff was like, not happening anymore."
Presale tickets begin Thursday at 10 a.m. with three-day general admission starting at $350. One-day tickets will start at around $200 each.
Music lovers also have the option to choose from general admission plus, VIP, and Super VIP tickets.
You can sign up for the presale on the festival's website.
