SweetWater 420 Fest Plots 2023 Event: Shakey Graves, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Neal Francis and More

Today, Atlanta’s beloved craft brewery, the 10th largest in the country, announced its plans for this year’s SweetWater 420 Fest, set to take place at SweetWater’s Atlanta brewery on April 22 and 23. This year’s gathering will mark its 17th iteration and will be headlined by Shakey Graves, Neal Francis, Ghostland Observatory and Rome & Duddy.
“SweetWater 420 Fest started as a homegrown festival to celebrate Mother Earth in an intimate space and was inspired by the motto, ‘We’re here for a good time, she’s here for a long time,'” said Anna Krakovski Ferro, SweetWater’s Director of Marketing. “This year’s party will have similar vibes to those early editions with a give-back component to our Georgia Waterkeeper groups, a celebration of local artists, and a much more intimate gathering that goes back to the root of who we are.”
Other performers scheduled to appear at SweetWater’s Ottley Drive brewery, which will transform into a unique venue with both indoor and outdoor stages, includes Doom Flamingo, Neighbor, Sunsquabi, Kitchen Dwellers, The Vegabonds, The Stews, Maggie Rose, Fireside Collective, Robert Jon & The Wreck, Consider The Source, Khaliko, Hotel Fiction, Tall Tall Trees, Happy Landing and Wolf Mask.

As always, delicious cuisine will be available from local vendors, many of whom are long-time friends of the brewery. The taproom, equipped with SweetWater’s limited food menu and vast lineup of signature beverages, will be open all festival long.
“Live music is as vital to our culture as making heady beer,” added Mike Boudreaux, SweetWater’s Director of Hospitality. “While the shift in venue will limit capacity, we anticipate this intimate edition of 420 Fest to be one for the books. Safety and nonstop music are our top priority for this 420 Fest, and bringing the festival to the brewery will be incredibly special.”
Weekend and single-day tickets will go on sale on Feb. 8 at 12 p.m. Learn more and find tickets here.
