Representatives for Atlanta’s A3C (All 3 Coasts) festival have confirmed over several artists for the upcoming three-day concert.
Earlier today the A3C Festival announced Camp Lo, Erick Sermon, Rhymefest, Homeboy Sandman, Diamond District and Da Beatminerz as main performers.
Their “Perfect Attendance” stage, which focuses on buzz-heavy artists from around the country, will have sets from Pac Div, Mickey Factz, Black Space, Jackie Chain, Skewby. In all, the stage expects to feature over 50 rising artists from around the country.
The concert performances will be accompanied by a producer battle, DJ competition, Pro-Audio demonstrations, a national break-dance competition and industry panels.
The A3C festival is entering its sixth year and has been the largest Hip-Hop festival in the southeast. Last year, the event hosted performances from Rakim, Killer Mike, Duck Down, Black Sheep, B.o.B., Curren$y, El da Sensei, and 9th Wonder.
In 2008, the event showcased the Clipse, Wale, Little Brother, Jeru the Damaja, and the Juice Crew.
The 2010 A3C event will run from October 7-9 at Atlanta’s Masquerade venue.
Three day passes for $33 are on sale now at www.a3cfestival.com. Special travel and ticket packages are available HERE.
Stay tuned to Beats, Boxing and Mayhem for more details as they become available.
**************************************************************************
This will be my third year attending A3C. In 2008, I was a rookie journalist and interacting with the artists, promoters and fellow writers there inspired me to pursue this field full-time. And last year I had the pleasure of meeting the legend Rakim and building with Killer Mike.
To see all these artists for $33 is a steal! And if my memory serves me right this is actually a lower price than what it was the last two years.
For every Hip-Hop fan in Atlanta, this event is mandatory. For others, it’s well worth the trip if it’s in the budget.
