Center Stage

I’ want to make this very clear this review is not about hunters performance because he was amazing as always!! It was just the planning/security maybe that went into the event. We had front row seats dead center, and so many people kept just coming up and standing in front of us which was honestly so disappointing. And then doing the meet and greet after the concert because of a “scheduling mix up” and “not having time to before the concert” was a little disappointing. And then, we didn’t even get our vip merch. They said “we’ll mail it to you” I saw on tik tok what other people got and they got way more. We were finally given a hat and a rubix cube but they didn’t give us a bag or even have bags, so that was a little annoying. Just little things that bugged me. But again, Hunters setlist was amazing, and Franklin was amazing😂

My name is Hannah Smith and my husbands name is Michael Smith. We were at the show at Center Stage Theatre in Atlanta on April 22nd, 2026. I’m trying to find videos that he dedicated his song “Every Piece” to us because our 20 year wedding anniversary was on that night. We had an amazing and awesome night and can’t wait til you come back to Atlanta cause we will be there. PLEASE SOMEONE TELL HUNTER THAT IT MEANT ALOT TO ME AND MY HUSBAND TO HEAR THAT. We have been through so much together and we are still together. That song has really helped us. WE LOVE YOU HUNTER HAYES!! YOUR AMAZING PERSON AND SINGER, SONGWRITER, PRODUCER AND ETC!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I enjoyed every second of Rodney Crowell’s performance. He and his band breezed through decades of great songs written by Rodney and shared stories which personalized the music for the audience. His opening act, The Secret Sisters were very entertaining also. Everyone present had a great night of watching talented musicians impart what they love to do with people who really love their catalogue of hits and enjoyed hearing songs from his newest Album too. Thank you for sharing such a world of great songs with us. I loved the story about the finding the lyrics on your desk! Happy Trails to each of you!

The Show that Rodney Crowell did Saturday evening was one of the best concerts I have ever had thee pleasure to attend. He and the band were out standing. He told a lot of wonderful stories leading in to some songs. Made you feel like he was an old and dear friend playing and singing at your house. He is second to none. Plus the band was perfect. We were able to meet his wife and that was a high light also. Thanks Rodney, wife band and crew for the wonderful music and memories to last forever. Love you guys. Don and Donna

SkyDxddy was injured just a day or two before the show, and she told the crowd she was heartbroken that she wouldn't be able to perform with the energy she usually gives, but she owned the stage (and the entire venue) from the chair she sat in more than I've seen full bands own a stage before. Incredible show, vocal perfection, and I'm looking forward to seeing her in Atlanta again. As a trans girl estranged from her father, I'm glad I've got a real Dxddy

I don’t think any words could ever describe how absolutely amazing this concert was. From the moment the lights dimmed, Kevian Kraemer's concert was pure magic, an electrifying performance that still has me buzzing days later, utterly unforgettable and impossible to get out of my head. His infectious energy immediately drew the entire crowd into his world, showcasing an undeniable stage presence as he effortlessly owned every inch of it, forging an instant connection with the audience through genuine interactions and heartfelt banter that created an intimately special atmosphere. Musically, the night was just as captivating, with his vocals even more enchanting live, rich with emotion and precision, soaring through the venue and hitting every note perfectly while still conveying raw feeling; his intricate guitar work was a definite highlight, and the incredibly tight band provided the perfect foundation for his dynamic performance. Hearing 'Attention' live was an absolute dream, the delivery of its lyrics gaining a whole new depth, and the crowd's incredible reaction to 'Room’ was a true testament to its power and Kraemer's command of the stage. His concert in Atlanta was truly unforgettable.

This band is AWESOME! If you want a KILLER performance from start to finish, then watch them play. I saw them on the Ava Max tour and decided to come to this show. It's PURE ENERGY from beginning to end. The lead singer is hilarious, and they really know how to entertain. I am so happy I got to see them up close now before the world discovers how good this amazing band is. I heard their latest song (Steady) on the radio, and it is SO GOOD!

Super RAD. If I fear anything, it is that you won’t a truly believe this review. There is NO way we could have selected a more perfect band to introduce our 7 year old grandson to live music. Lil bro Denver wanted to be right in front of the stage from the beginning. Everything about the band, the content, the performance was positively uplifting, engaging, and approachable. Though we never made it to front of the house, (at 64 I am likely among the oldest of Aquabats Cadets. Though very mild and wonderful, the mosh pit was slightly more challenging than I expected.) from within the crowd on the floor, everyone was having a really awesome time. A most memorable and amazing experience in every way. The first thing Denver said when we made it to the car was, “I miss the Aquabats already”. Every song was wonderful, every note was positive. If only all in the world could be as good as the Aquabats in Atlanta last night. THAT is our wish.

Venue was very warm and not a lot of room, but the staff was phenomenal and went above and beyond to help people! Citizen Soldier was amazing! Great audience interactions, amazing music, and overall such an amazing experience. Icon For Hire gave a great performance and played a really good high energy set. Really enjoyed them. Halocene were good, though I wish they played more original songs and fewer covers. Highlight was definitely Citizen Soldier and the title of "Group Therapy Tour" was very accurate. When it comes to shows that have left me feeling much better mentally after them this tops the chart!

An absolute rager. She was fantastic, great energy, great crowd work. The set was super fun, the staff was great. She got into the crowd with us, had us all sit down during one of her chiller songs. Her opener was King Mala and she hyped us up so well for UPSAHL. I think the sound set up could have been better for her, she was hard to hear at some points, but it was still great. Got to meet King Mala after the set ended, too. I definitely wish the show was longer!!!

When you are in ATLANTA we'll be there!!! 🤘 I WAS THE CRAZY WHITE GOATEE GUY WITH THE BLACK HAT!! Craig Mabbit you called on me and you said "and this guy crazy m**********r!!" Unbeknownst to you when you went outside you met my ole lady and my 16 old daughter!!! Much appreciated that you gave her the ability to record you saying happy birthday!! You motherfuckers are top notch!!! 🤘😎 By the way we bought that symbol!!! My hat's off to you Robert Ortiz!!! Keep banging brother!!!

I have been an Andy Grammer fan for quite a while now (and as a child listened to his dad), but this was my first opportunity to see him in concert. The show did not disappoint!! It was everything I hoped for…Andy is even better in person. He is a charismatic poet, musician, and performer whose authenticity and positivity emanates through every word he says and every move he makes. I am so thankful he has followed his gifts because he gives the world so much through his music. Also, Center Stage was a great venue. Accessible, clean, nice staff, great acoustics, and I liked the medium size of the theater.

I have been listening to TOP since I was 12 years old. 6 years later and I finally got to see them live in a super small venue, I quite literally cried. This show was so unbelievably intimate, and Josh and Tyler are two of the most rocking performers i’ve seen in a long time. There was not a single full moment and the crowd was filled to the brim with die hard pilots fans which made the whole experience 10 times better. They quite literally put a drum set on top of the crowd and played it was absolutely bonkers. Even as I screamed every single word to each song like the fan girl I am nothing could overpower the music these two produced that night.

It was a very good performance although Yngwie started later than I thought and John 5 dropped out of the tour. There were a few tech issues with the sound but I didn’t care as a big fan of Yngwie Malmsteen’s guitar playing. He’s one of the best guitarists in the world professionally. Anyway his set list was very good. He played his great classic tunes like Evil Eye and Far Beyond the Sun . He played Soldier from World Is On Fire and You Don’t Remember I’ll Never Forget. So It was certainly enjoyable overall.

I'm going to have to see him again as a solo headliner because this show didn't catch the full vibe of a Mick Jenkins performance. The crowd seemed to mostly be there for EarthGang (which makes sense - ATL and everything - but that doesn't mean that Mick should be treated like some random opener... That's disrespectful). Additionally, while Mick chose songs that worked well being performed solely with tracks (as I think that was a limitation of this tour), I really missed his live interpretations. Yes, a band is a big cost for such a collaborative tour... but I think the reception of Mick's set would have been different if Mick were allowed the resources to fully be Mick. Hopefully that makes sense... I wanted to be honest and constructively critical, as I'm that fan who enjoys his shows regardless lol. I just wish the crowd had done their research to prepare for his set too - not just EarthGang's. #SpreadLove 🤷🏾‍♀️

Mellower and shorter set than the last time they played Center Stage but still great. Really like the material from the new album, and while this was the second show I've seen with Laur, what he brings to that spot is still striking in terms of its creativity and precision. In addition to just being a better guitarist than the last few guys in that spot, he seems to have much more musical chemistry with Kevn. Hearing the harmonic and call and response stuff they worked into a bunch of songs was probably the highlight of the show.

This event was AWESOME!!! Loved seeing them! My only complaint is that the bandsintown event location for this concert was totally wrong. I took an uber to the location of LOFT that bandsintown said this event was at, but then it took us to the LOFT clothing store in Lennox mall. We then rechecked and saw that there was a different address on the actual ticket. I then had to get a separate uber to the actual address, thus paying more money for my trip there. Other than all this, it was a great concert!

Great show! If you haven't seen a Live Dollop, treat yourself to one, you won't be disappointed. If they come back through Atlanta, I'll most definitely be there to laugh my a** off and learn about some f***ed up s**t we have done (or most likely still do)... There are two things I'll have to do next time: (1) bring some merch for them to sign (What's up with not selling posters, Dave?), (2) be more "on it" when I meet the guys, at least try to avoid babbling some incoherent trite s**t...

This was an excellent performance from Ms. Boyd. She never fails to draw the audience in, whether it be with her classic covers or her original compositions from personal experiences. She actually won me over at the annual TIDAL X concert in New York City in 2017. So I had to see Ms. Boyd again once she came to the southeastern part of the states. She was an excellent supporting act for Jussie Smollett on his “Sum of my Music” tour. And an phenomenal headliner for her own. This was well worth it and I will continue to support and her and her works.
