The Shaky Beats Music Festival has quickly become one of the biggest music festivals in the country with thousands of visitors tuning up each weekend. The Shaky Beats Music Festival is a free weekly music festival which takes place in Central Park in New York City. The festival features popular and underground artists from throughout the world as well as many up-and-coming artists who have only been playing in small venues until now. A growing crowd of artists are now bringing their music to large festivals like Shaky Beats Festival to achieve worldwide success. The Shaky Beats Festival is now scheduled for ten days in late May and early June and will feature sets from Above & Beyond, Disclosure, Chromeo, J.I.D., Killer Mike, Wale, Washed Out, and many other local and international artists.
Besides the Shaky Beats Festival in New York, the Athens based Shaky Beats Recordings Festival takes place every Saturday at the Athens Center Studios. Another small yet interesting festival in the area is the Blanket Bass Music Festival which takes place at the Midway Cafe every Saturday evening. The festival featured artists like Chase and Status, Dot Da Genius, and others. This was also the first music festival at the former Rave Bar in Athens, which closed down after five hours due to smoke and fire. This year's festival will be held in the Midpointe Plaza instead of the former Rave Bar.
If you live in Atlanta and are interested in both the Shaky Beats Festival in New York and the Athens residency from last year, I strongly suggest you check out both events. The Shaky Beats Festival is still my favorite weekend in New York since the endless amount of fun continues each weekend (and sometimes daily). My summer itinerary includes visits to the Bronx Zoo, the Emory Arts Center, the Georgia Museum of Art, and of course, the central park. If you live in a place with a mild climate all throughout the year, the Shaky Beats Festival in New York should prove to be a great addition to your summer musical diary.
