Sad Summer Fest had the best lineup that has been brought to Atlanta in a long time. It was the festival every pop punk fan needed this summer, and man did it deliver!

Magnolia Park, Games We Play, The Summer Set and Hot Mulligan were some of the first to the stage at The Roxy, putting on an eclectic live show for everyone in the crowd. State Champs and Mayday Parade followed, their sing-a-long lyrics causing an uproar in the venue.

With one heavy hitter band after another, the crowd went wild for every single set. Some people came for certain bands but ended up staying through the end because the music and the atmosphere were so great!

Neck Deep had the rowdiest crowd while Waterparks had the most dancing. By the end of the night, the energy was still so high, and everyone continued cheering for a while after Waterparks finished their set.

Each of these bands could’ve had their own headliner show, but the fact they all played the same stage is something that will be unforgettable to everyone who attended. I truly can’t wait to see who is on the lineup next year, because I don’t know how it will top this one!
