  • The Counterpoint Festival will take place in Atlanta, Georgia from September 27th to 29th. The festival will take over the 8,000-acre Chattahoochee riverfront property not far from Atlanta, with a lineup of over 50 artists spread over several stages. Headliners include A-list acts like Skrillex, Avicii and Bassnectar, as well as Colorado's Pretty Lights, Kelowna dubstep maven Excision, Fool's Gold boss A-Trak and Swedish House Mafia's Steve Angello. There's also a healthy dose of live music, including French group M83, Maybach Music Group rapper Wale and indie rapper Atmosphere, Outkast's Big Boi, Boulder jamband Big Gigantic, chillwave originator Toro Y Moi and laser-loving duo Ghostland Observatory, among many other acts. The festival will be camping-optional, meaning ticketholders can pay a small extra fee for access to the campground, but shuttles will also be available to and from the festival back to the city. Counterpoint also features a number of non-musical attractions, including a 10-artist collaborative mural and installation, a cinema area to show sports games and elaborate visuals at night, extreme sports demonstrations and a number of local food vendors.
