    Brook Run Amphitheater sets the scene for a community evening filled with live music, food trucks, giveaways, and more. Attendees can bring lawn chairs, grab a bite, and dance under the stars with neighbors. The headliner is Slippery When Wet, a Bon Jovi tribute led by Jason Morey, whose close resemblance to Jon Bon Jovi inspired the band after repeated cases of mistaken identity, including a backstage invite from Dave Chappelle. Their show is built on the live arrangements from Bon Jovi’s Crush, Bounce, Have a Nice Day, Lost Highway, and The Circle tours, aiming to bring arena-level energy to any stage. Drawing on a song catalog known for sing-along anthems and cross-generational appeal, they focus on recreating the feel of a Bon Jovi concert.

    Russian Circles

    Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave, Atlanta
    See details

    Variety Playhouse hosts an all-ages performance featuring Russian Circles with Pelican. The Chicago-based instrumental trio of Mike Sullivan, Dave Turncrantz, and Brian Cook has spent more than two decades shaping a distinct sound that folds together influences from Midwest Touch & Go alumni, classic progressive rock, hypnotic motorik and kosmische pulses, and the harsher edges of metal. Known for consistency and craft rather than hit singles, they deliver immersive heavy music built on tension, release, and precise dynamics. Their recent album Nine reflects a steady refinement of that approach, with basic tracks recorded at Electrical Audio in Chicago and finishing work with engineer Kurt Ballou at GodCity Studio in Massachusetts. The record spans the stark churn of Borehole, the concentrated onslaught of Empath, and the patient rise of Eluvial, then widens the palette with the pulsing E2, the forward momentum of Meridian, and the light and dark contrast of Arletta and Seventh Seal. An all-ages bill pairing Russian Circles’ expansive instrumentals with Pelican at Variety Playhouse.

    See details

    Presented by Zero Mile, Black Country, New Road perform at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta. This all ages show features a band known for constant reinvention, from a debut that earned a Mercury Prize nomination and blended jazz and post rock elements, to a follow up that leaned into art rock and chamber pop, then a brand new live set created after the amicable departure of singer Isaac Wood. Now a six piece with vocals and much of the writing shared by Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery and May Kershaw, the group’s latest chapter includes the studio album Forever Howlong, produced by James Ford. Their music draws on folk, prog, baroque pop and touches of alt rock while remaining distinctly their own, a sound forged by a close knit, multi instrumental lineup that cut its teeth at The Windmill in Brixton alongside peers such as Squid and Black Midi. Their audience has continued to grow with each evolution, and this appearance reflects the collaborative spirit and adventurous songwriting that define the band’s current era.
