All of the shows I went to were so fun. Florence and the Machine was nothing short of amazing. I was in awe of her the whole time. Ludacris was so much fun and Girl Talk always creates the best dance party. Gotta say though, my favorite show was the Foo Fighters. One of the best experiences I've had!

I moved to ATL the year after Music Midtown left ATL and did not have a chance to experience it until its rebirth last year. Expanding it to 2 days this year was great. Both days were filled with a great community of people and awesome mix of music/bands, and great headliners. Foo Fighters stole the weekend. I always liked them, but never saw them live until then. Their set, including a great encore with some surprises (Pink Floyd medley, Joan Jett jamming with the band) was one to remember. Note to MM: Keep on truckin'.

Seems like I was not the only one who purchased Super VIP and felt this way. Only 3 stars because of the super VIP viewing. Yes the amenities, food and being carted back and forth between stages was great but I'm pretty sure everyone who paid over 1000.00 paid this amount because they thought they were going to have a better vantage point. Usually when you pay this amount to see any type of concert you end up front row. Super VIP was in no way shape or form anywhere near the stage. Pearl Jam is my favorite band and I wanted to be right up front when they came on and in order to do that I 1, had to be in GA and 2, had to stand through 2 performances which were great but I would have preferred to see those band sitting down having a drink. So there I was in the middle of the crown in GA and was only able to get about 10ft away from the stage. I suppose I was lucky to even be that close because I see from the other reviews that the sound was horrible and I was able hear clearly and even get some good video. I will never do this festival again. The line up will have to include Pearl Jam, Sound Garden, Band of Horses, Smashing Pumpkins, Black Keys and The Foo and VIP VIEWING MUST BE POSITIONED BETTER.

Smart move on Atlanta's part to bring back Music Midtown after all these years. The city's enthusiasm leading up to the event and the sold out show should demonstrate the desire for a musical event of this size and diversity in the area. Way to go Atlanta! The event was well run, and I especially liked that most of the food vendors were local restaurants and food trucks. Line up was good, but there would be a more natural flow if a third stage was added, otherwise the crowd just walks back and forth from two stages all day as the next act goes on. Hope this continues to be an annual event - cant wait for next year!

Overall an outstanding two days! Location, artists and food & beverage choices were wonderful. The only downside? 30-45 min wait for a port-a-potty all afternoon on Saturday.

The port-a-potty situation was a nightmare. There were not enough facilities and in between concerts the lines were 45+min long and people had to resort to going wherever they could find a place.

I went mainly to see Pearl Jam but thoroughly enjoyed all the bands! Ludacris really knows how to get the crowd going! It was an overall great experience! The only problems were,they should have more vendors selling water and they need more porta-potties near the main stage!

The lineup during Saturday of Music Midtown was great for me mainly because I love listening to Florence & the Machine and I think Eddie Vedder (of Pearl Jam) has amazing vocal capabilities. I had a really amazing time listening to these artists (plus Ludacris played too...) and learning that Florence is just as amazing live as on her albums.

Never being to music midtown before or to midtown Atlanta before, I didn't know what to expect. All I knew was the lineup was outstanding. After the first day I was amazed. The second day was breathtaking. Honestly, this festival was one of the funnest I've ever been to. The venue was really great too. Amazing fields that softly inclined the farther away from stage you got.

The only negatives were the lack of porta johns closer to the stage. They were a hike across the whole venue from the stages. And the other was the number of people, but you can't really avoid such crowds when the headliners were such.

Either way, thanks for a great time Atlanta. See you next year!!!

I flew from California to see Pearl Jam and upon seeing the lineup I call it a bonus; then Foo Fighters, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Garbage, Adam Ant, liked Van Hunt, sorry I missed Avett Brothers - my only misstep. An amazing festival with many new friends and the music was incredible. Thank you!

Bottom line: If you like enough of the artists in the line-up or have a range of the types of music you can enjoy on the fly, then the ticket price is reasonably cost effective. However, don't expect a high-quality music festival experience (relatively speaking) because Music Midtown certainly feels thrown together.

The line-up wasn't extremely mind-blowing, but I don't expect an outstanding line-up from a music festival such as Music Midtown which I feel is aimed at the general public who are composed of both music fanatics and music dabblers. There's definitely a different feel to Music Midtown when compared to other music festivals that attract a greater ratio of extreme music fans to music dabblers. For example, it was common to see a lot of the crowd at even the headlining shows composed of people who weren't really paying attention to the performance at all. The audio set up could have been better considering the amount of people who go to MM; Dave Grohl's mic could have been louder. The experience is really made by the company you have and whether you and your friends are really into the experience and/or music. I can imagine a true Pearl Jam fan being content with this year's MM, but I can also imagine plenty of people who aren't too enthusiastic about any of the artists without the right company being kind of disappointed. I can also see how having to pay for lodging in Atlanta or traveling from out of town may be a significant factor against going to MM.
