The Maine: A Band That Has Always Shown Up for Their Fans

If you know The Maine, you already know they are one of the hardest-working, most fan-devoted acts in the alternative and indie rock space. Since bursting onto the scene out of Tempe, Arizona, The Maine have built a fiercely loyal following — and Atlanta has always been a city that shows up loud for them. With a catalog that spans heartfelt anthems, sun-soaked rock, and razor-sharp introspection, every Maine show feels personal. The title of this tour alone — I Love You But... I Chose The Maine — is a love letter to the fans who have chosen them over and over again. And honestly? Atlanta fans are about to prove they made the right choice.

NIGHTLY: The Perfect Nashville-to-Atlanta Crossover

Sharing the stage is NIGHTLY, the Nashville-based indie pop duo that has been quietly becoming one of the most buzzworthy acts on the circuit. With dreamy soundscapes, infectious hooks, and a live energy that punches way above its weight, NIGHTLY is not just an opener — they are an experience. This pairing is electric, and Atlanta fans who arrive early will be rewarded.
