Music Midtown returns this weekend for its sixth year at Piedmont Park in Atlanta. The two-day festival has changed a lot since it was founded in 1994 by veteran music promoters, Alex Cooley and Peter Conlon. This year’s lineup features a noticeably younger cast of artists, including DeadMau5, Kesha, and Atlanta-born soul singer Leon Bridges. We speak with Music Midtown co-founder Peter Conlon, who also serves as president of Live Nation Atlanta (which produces the festival), about the future direction of the festival.

Atlanta punk rock band The Coathangers will perform this weekend at Music Midtown. They add two more songs to our Georgia Playlist. Plus, our Breakroom gang returns to discuss the week’s news, including the new iPhone, minority-majority in Norcross, and self-diagnosing yourself on WebMD. We also discuss the death of facts in America, literacy as a constitutional right, and the giant metal Falcon planned for Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
