CRITIC’S PICK: Herbie Hancock

Recommended by Hal Horowitz as part of Creative Loafing’s May 2026 Critic’s Picks

Tues., May 5
Herbie Hancock
Atlanta Symphony Hall

Now 85, legendary keyboardist Hancock brings a full band for this rare tour stop, only one of six in the south this year. His six decade catalog is so thick, diverse, and impressive, it’s impossible to know what to expect. But previous sets have included acoustic and electric sections and closed with the funky “Rockit,” his lone charting hit. Irrespective of what he plays, you’ll get to see a renowned jazz icon who, even at his advanced age, hasn’t lost a step. It’s unlikely he will be doing many more concerts locally; don’t miss this opportunity. — Hal Horowitz
