Shaky Knees 2025 Drops Daily Schedule, Here’s What to Expect
The Shaky Knees daily schedules are here, and they’re packed. Set to take over Atlanta’s Piedmont Park from September 19–21, the 2025 edition of the festival brings three full days of genre-spanning chaos, from alt-rock legends to buzzing newcomers and everything in between. Whether you’re all in for the headliners or planning your weekend around deeper cuts, there’s a lot to take in. Here’s a rundown of what each day looks like.
Friday, September 19: Kicking off with classics and chaos
Doors open late on Friday (4:00 PM), but things heat up fast. Over at Peachtree, Sublime kicks things off at 5:30 PM, followed by Lenny Kravitz, and Deftones closing the night from 9:30 to 11:00 PM. Meanwhile, the Piedmont and Ponce De Leon stages keep the energy up with overlapping sets from Inhaler, IDLES, Spoon, The Marías, and Pixies. Spoon and Pixies play at the exact same time (8:30–9:30), so good luck picking.
Criminal Records is where to go for rising acts like Sarah Kinsley and Joey Valence & Brae, the latter guaranteed to bring wild energy.
Saturday, September 20: All gas, no brakes
Saturday’s schedule is stacked from the jump, starting at 11:45 AM with Songs For Kids and closing out with My Chemical Romance from 9:30–11:00 PM. In between is just a casual lineup of Soft Play, Johnny Marr, TV On The Radio, and Cage The Elephant, all on the Peachtree stage.
Piedmont holds it down with The Black Keys, Highly Suspect, The Backseat Lovers, and a strong early set from The Beaches. Over at Ponce De Leon, it’s a pop-punk throwback with The All-American Rejects and Public Enemy holding the late-night spot.
Criminal Records keeps the alt lane alive with CMAT, Scowl, Die Spitz, and BilMuri. There’s almost no breathing room between big sets so prepare to power walk.
Sunday, September 21: Close it out with Blink and Vampire Weekend
The final day kicks off just before noon and ends a bit earlier (10:30 PM curfew). Blink-182 headlines Peachtree after a full day that includes Alabama Shakes, Devo, and The Stews.
Vampire Weekend takes the Piedmont stage at 8:00 PM following sets from “Weird Al” Yankovic and Franz Ferdinand. Over on Ponce De Leon, Wet Leg and 4 Non Blondes carry the indie torch, while Lucy Dacus closes the night there.
Criminal Records is once again where you’ll find deep cuts ; Mdou Moctar and Fleshwater are must-sees if you want something off the beaten path.
Expect plenty of set conflicts, hard choices, and last-minute changes — you know the drill. Full set times are available on the Shaky Knees website now, so get your schedule plotting started. Comfy shoes, earplugs, and backup plans recommended.
