Atlanta, my friends, is absolutely ELECTRIC right now, and I'm not just talking about the city's electric scooter situation. Let me tell you what's happening in this vibrant hub that locals actually care about. First, if you're into the electronic music scene, Breakaway Atlanta is coming to Center Parc Stadium on May fifteenth and sixteenth with Fisher, John Summit, and Kaskade headlining.
