A new festival format combines daytime activities at The Battery Atlanta with a nighttime stadium concert

Atlanta will add a new large-scale summer music event in 2026 with the launch of Braves Country Fest, a one-day festival scheduled for Saturday, June 13, 2026, at Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta. The event is presented by Truist and is being produced in partnership with Live Nation, with festival proceeds supporting the Atlanta Braves Foundation.

The structure is split into two parts: daytime programming across The Battery Atlanta, followed by an evening concert inside Truist Park. Organizers have framed the concept as an extension of the ballpark district’s non-game-day programming, using the mixed-use campus to host a full-day schedule rather than a single start-time show.

Concert lineup and where performances will take place

The ticketed concert inside Truist Park is set to feature Cody Johnson, Ella Langley, ERNEST and Mackenzie Carpenter. The Braves have described the stadium component as the main concert event, with daytime offerings positioned as additional programming in the surrounding entertainment district.

Daytime activities at The Battery Atlanta are expected to include free activations and live performances. A designated emerging-artist component, titled the Braves Country Hot Prospects showcase, is scheduled for the Whiskey Jam stage at the Georgia Power Pavilion and is slated to include Zach John King, Scoot Teasley and Colton Bowlin.

  • Date: Saturday, June 13, 2026

  • Locations: Truist Park (concert) and The Battery Atlanta (daytime programming)

  • Top-billed performers: Cody Johnson, Ella Langley, ERNEST, Mackenzie Carpenter

  • Emerging-artist showcase: Zach John King, Scoot Teasley, Colton Bowlin

Ticket sales timeline and access windows

Ticket sales are scheduled to begin with presales on Thursday, January 29, 2026, ahead of the general public on-sale on Friday, January 30, 2026, at 10 a.m. ET. Presales are expected to be available to Atlanta Braves A-List and Premium Members, Live Nation All Access members, Truist cardholders, and Braves registered users during designated windows.

The festival is designed as a combined baseball-and-country-music experience, using both the stadium interior and the surrounding district for separate phases of the event.

Why the festival matters for Atlanta’s venue economy

Braves Country Fest is the latest example of major sports venues programming large-scale concerts and festival-style events as part of broader venue utilization strategies. Truist Park’s adjacent development, The Battery Atlanta, has increasingly functioned as an entertainment hub beyond game days, and the Braves are positioning the inaugural festival as a repeatable format that ties music programming to the team’s brand while supporting foundation fundraising.

Additional operational details—such as set times, site maps, and ticket pricing tiers—are expected to be released closer to the event.
