Atlanta natives know there’s never a dull moment at Chastain Park. A sprawling 268 acre park, Chastain is home to lush walking and biking trails, playgrounds, an art center and an athletic club that offers public tennis lessons, playing fields, horse-riding lessons and an 18-hole golf course. Oh, and did we mention that Chastain Park is also where you’ll find the Cadence Park Amphitheatre, which draws some of the best global entertainers to its stage year after year? After the pandemic brought live music to a halt in 2020, this summer’s concert series is back again with the Cadence Park Amphitheatre safely reopened and an incredible lineup of musical talent set to perform. Read on to see who’ll be headlining this summer.
July
Charlotte, North Carolina native Anthony Hamilton will be first to take the Cadence Amphitheatre stage this summer in time for the Independence Day long weekend. A few weeks later, R&B singer Alicia Keys will be performing as part of her rescheduled Alicia: The World Tour concert.

Chastain Park’s summer roster heats up even more come August, with bands Wilco and Sleater-Kinney teaming up to rock the house; later in the month, rock band Yacht Rock Revival will also be taking the stage. But perhaps the most anticipate August headliner is R&B soul singer John Legend, who will be performing as part of his Bigger Love tour.
