Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, State Farm Arena has announced a special concert series.
The series, dubbed “Summer Kickoff ATL 2026,” will feature global superstars, world-class experiences, and other entertainment in the city. While further details regarding the series has not been announced at this time, Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena President and Chief Executive Officer Steve Koonin said Atlanta draws hundreds of thousands of visitors and “summer 2026 is expected to peak with more than half of a million visitors.”
“We know that no matter where our guests come from, they want to be entertained, and that music is the one universal language that brings people together,” Koonin said. “State Farm Arena will be the place to enjoy the best shows and entertainment experiences in the city.”
