Imagine Music Festival

The Imagine Music Festival

What started in 2014 as a modest music festival in Historic Fourth Ward Park is now one of the nation’s most anticipated EDM gatherings. These days, Imagine calls the Atlanta Motor Speedway near rural Hampton, Georgia its home. Over the years, the festival has more than doubled in attendance and scope, while remaining independent, which founders Glenn and Madeleine Goodhand say “allows for the creative freedom to build that vision of the Aquatic Fairytale each year.”

Covid Update

The 2020 Imagine Music Festival has been postponed to September 17, 18, 19, 2021 in response to the growing threat of COVID-19. The lineup will be announced in the coming weeks.
