Atlanta’s stacked Wrecking Ball festival returns August 12-14 with Thursday, Piebald, Milemarker and Hey Mercedes reunions, plus Quicksand, L7, Dinosaur Jr, Drive Like Jehu, American Football, The Julie Ruin, Gorilla Biscuits, The Promise Ring, American Nightmare, Deafheaven, Touche Amore, Rainer Maria, CIV and many more.
Since we last spoke, the festival excitingly added Deerhunter, who will certainly fit right in on this more traditionally punk-oriented fest, as well as The Joy Formidable. Tickets are still available. Updated lineup below.
UPDATE (5/16): Wrecking Ball now added Foxing, Diet Cig, Chris Farren and Sorority Noise.
