ATLANTA — Another Atlanta music festival is postponing their event.

The 404 Festival announced on social media Monday afternoon that it has “made the conscious decision to pause this year’s 404 Festival to explore options that will allow our fans to celebrate the community inclusion, growth, and appreciation of the City of Atlanta.”


quote:

The 404 Festival was set to take place this weekend at Pratt Pullman Yards, and Atlanta rapper Big Boi was set to headline.



quote:

Performers who were scheduled to perform included Big Boi, Niko Moon, $2fabo, Ricky Retro, The Pusswillows, Wix Patton, Citizen Gold, All the Locals and more. https://www.the404fest.com/



Man, I'm in tears over losing out on seeing those fine upstanding artists. I'm sure the Pullman Yards are up in arms about losing the clientele this event was going to attract.

Seems like "rapper" is becoming the new "real estate agent." Everywhere you turn, someone else is a new "rapper."

The real talent is in music production. Hell with the rapping. That's dumb fodder for idiots.

Create the music those idiots mumble over.

What does 404 reference, other than the obvious setup for when it gets cancelled?

Atlanta proper's area code.

There are 4 or 5 in the metro now, and having a 404 area code is almost a badge of honor for some folks.

Knew a girl from ATL who lived in NYC.

Asked if she’d change her number and she said no she didn’t want to lose her area code

Like damn it’s just a random arbitrary set of numbers. It doesn’t define you.

Whatever
