MarchOne is the promoter for the event, they seem to be implying here that the venue will hold >8,500. So not a small place.
Gunna try to pick up a couple of tickets to this in the presale (starts 11am CST today).
Where the hell is this damn thing? The only concert venue I know downtown that holds more than 8,500 people is Philips... Are they doing a surprise arena show? I would've guessed the Civic Center but it's smaller than that and I don't know if it's even open anymore.
I don't even want to go to this. I just want to know where the hell it will be.

I'm scratching my head about it too. The description of the event seems to imply that its indoors. There is a VIP ticket option so the venue must include a "raised viewing area and private bar".
EDIT: and presale sold out. i'll try again Friday.

I hope it's something completely random, like The Gulch by the CNN Center.

No tickets here either but I'll be looking to you ATL folks to sort out where this might be. Fingers crossed for tickets on Friday!
So Terminal West is promoting the event but heavily denying that it's at Terminal West. Are there any other properties that they are partners with? Someone mentioned King Plow, which would make sense
The best musical experience in Atlanta this weekend was me riding my bike on the Beltline rapping along to Pusha T's newest album. It was great. You guys should've been there.

Anyone got any deetz on who is playing Project Pabst on Oct 1st? Hoping for Ween
The website has said "Lineup coming soon" for a while now. If our lineup is anything like Portland's lineup, I'll be a very happy man.
As far as guesses? I would put money on The Coathangers since they're playing both of the other PBR fests and are hometown heroes. They have a show on 9/10 in NC, and then will be in Australia on 10/7.
Ween is playing Chicago on 9/16 and San Francisco on 10/14, so it's possible.
"All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone.. the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act." -- Marcel Duchamp

The Coathangers are playing Music Midtown two weeks prior.
It is with bittersweet emotions that we announce today (in a somber tone with a hint of excitement) the Masquerade’s exit from our historic location at 695 North Ave. NE in Atlanta, Ga. and relocation to our future home at 1421 Fairmont Ave. in the burgeoning West Midtown section of Atlanta.
The Old Fourth Ward has been our home since 1989 when we took over the historic Dupree’s Excelsior Mill and converted it into one of the country’s landmark destinations on the live music touring circuit. The century-old stone walls and wooden planks, along with a variety of old machinery left over from the building’s industrial past, provided an atmosphere for entertainment not duplicated anywhere else.
Over that time, we have played host to most everyone who is anyone in the Rock, Alternative, Punk, Indie Rock, Metal, Industrial, Reggae, Hip Hop and EDM music scenes. Our stages have been graced by Nirvana, Fugazi, N.I.N, Bjork, Radiohead, The Dave Matthews Band, Foo Fighters, Motorhead, Ice Cube, Outkast, RATM, Coldplay, Green Day, Nick Cave, My Chemical Romance, Fallout Boy, and countless more. The first ever Warped Tour played in The Masquerade Music Park, as did the first Imagine Festival, the first Shaky Knees Fest, and the first Wrecking Ball ATL.
The O4W neighborhood has grown and changed quite a bit in the last quarter-of-a-century. We have been a proud part of that growth and are appreciative of the support the neighborhood has always shown us. We are also grateful for the extremely supportive treatment we have received from property developers Jay Clark of SE Capital Companies, Bob Worthington of Worthington/Hyde and John Tirrill of SWH Residential Partners. They have been great to work with throughout this process and will take great care of this special building in which we have spent so much of our lives.
Now we are going to continue our growth in a new location that is still located in the heart of Atlanta. The new Masquerade is going to be nice, and new and shiny, built from scratch. It will have upgraded bathrooms – a ton of them, and many backstage rooms that will be fancy also. The ceilings will be tall – Heaven will have a mezzanine. Yes, there will be parking.
But, for anyone concerned about losing the essence of The Masquerade, the unique aesthetic that has made us special, don’t fret. The heart and soul of the Masquerade does not lie in the brick and mortar, but in the music and people. Those will be coming with us to Fairmont along with the successful Heaven, Hell and Purgatory, multi-stage format that has served us so well.
We will memorialize our departure from 695 North Ave. with one final blowout. The Wrecking Ball ATL 2016 has already received tons of national and international press as one of the most impressive, and unique festival lineups of 2016. The festival was curated to reflect The Masquerade’s Punk, Alternative and Indie Rock roots, with an eye cast toward the future of the genres. We can now officially announce The Ball as our swansong, our final weekend on North Avenue.
On August 13 and 14, Quicksand, L7, Dinosaur Jr and Drive Like Jehu will be joined by Kathleen Hanna and the Julie Ruin, Atlanta’s own Deerhunter, hardcore legends Gorilla Biscuits, the reunited Thursday, American Football and The Promise Ring and over 60 more incredible artists. This will be the last chance to experience the location so many have grown up with, fallen in love at, brought their kids to and will remember forever.
The farewell festival’s footprint will encompass the Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory stages, along with two festival stages in Old Fourth Ward Park right next door. We are excited to be partnering with many local vendors, local food trucks (vegan friendly!), and Atlanta-based businesses like Mailchimp, Southern Star Tattoos, Criminal Records and I Believe In Atlanta. Did we also mention the endless amounts of PBR?
Tickets are available for The Wrecking Ball ATL 2016 at All Ticketmaster locations and The Masquerade box office. Weekend passes and single day tickets are available. VIP tix are sold out. Please join us for this exciting weekend. Take final photos and contribute to our Memory Wall your farewell wishes to the 695.
We will take the week following Wrecking Ball to finish our transition to the new digs and be open the following weekend, Aug. 20th with no downtime whatsoever!

They played 3 days in a row recently.
Oh I'm more than certain they're up to the task. I was suggesting Music Midtown probably wouldn't want one of the bands they booked playing a local show so close to their festival.

I should have clarified 3 Atl shows in a row. Although I see what you're saying, I just don't think it would matter to MM that a small, local, punk band plays a small day event 2 weeks later. There is no way that they have any drawing power for MM. For example, I like the Coathangers a good bit and have seen their shows numerous times, but there is no way I'm going to MM for them.
Anyway, ATL show side note: I'm stoked for Kevin Morby this weekend.

Fair point, hope you're right. The Coathangers are great.
And hell yea Kevin Morby! I'll be there too. Hit me up if you want to grab a beer before the show.
