The event drew in excess of 300,000 attendees per year during its peak years. Music Midtown started as a two-day event with three stages. It later grew to a three-day event.

s playing a wide variety of musical genres. Due to a decline in attendance and rising expenses after the 2005 Music Midtown, promoters placed the festival on hiatus in 2006. The hiatus ran through 2010. The festival returned as a one-day event in 2011 and then expanded to its current two-day format in 2012. On August 1, 2022 the festival was cancelled by the organizers. Media reports said this was because of the current state gun laws which prevented the organizers from banning firearms at the event, which is held in a public park.

History

Origins

The festival was conceived by Atlanta-based music promoters Alex Cooley, Peter Conlon and Alex Hoffman who sought to create an event similar to the

After a few years at this site, the festival was forced to move to make way for the construction of the new

Changes, 2005, and decline

Hiatus and resurrection

On January 5, 2006, Conlon announced that there would be no Music Midtown in 2006 due to the growing expenses of the festival in its current form and location. Although Conlon left open the possibility of a return at a different location in the future, this ultimately left Music Midtown in limbo and on hiatus through 2010. On July 6, 2011, Mayor Kasim Reed and Conlon announced that the festival would return for 2011 as a one-day event on September 24, 2011, at
