Music Midtown 2018 Lineup Announced

ATLANTA, GA — Music Midtown is featuring its first Pulitzer Prize winner as a headliner this year.

Kendrick Lamar, who became the first non-classical, non-jazz musician ever to win the award for his 2017 album "Damn," will be joined by Imagine Dragons, Post Malone and Fallout Boy as the headliners for this year's edition of the popular festival.

Music Midtown 2018 is set for Sept. 15-16 in Piedmont Park, where the festival has been held every year since it returned from hiatus in 2010.
