Not only that but people live there, and the noise alone is a no go for residents there.

Most of these type of events are already held in cities, the fact that TomorrowWorld wasn't and was isolated semi-rual with bad transportation was part of the problem.

Your forgetting the Beltline will have trasit in the future. But these type of events are social gathering, along the beltline trails could be games, stands and etc to buy food.

And Events that large different shows will held on different stages at the same and etc. No one goes to festival this large and catch everything that literally impossible anyways. People basically decided what shows or events they want to catch.

Name two events held in cities that draw 150,000 people.

There is no way you can fit that many people in the city limits for a music festival.


There is a reason no other city does festivals this large in the actual city.


You realize Coachella (about the same attendance) is out in the desert at least an hour away from LA right?

Coachella is not in LA festival in the first place it's in the Inland Empire metro area.

Even Atlanta comic con draws 80,000 k in city that already half.

Cities generally do have events this large inside city limits.
Essence Festival reports more than 470,000 attendees in 2017 | NOLA.com

We were just talking about miami Ultra 150k to 330k

SXSW 152,000

Taste of Chicago which is a food festival but also have shows and etc draws a million people.

The irony is Atlanta would have more organized space then them

Already did, would you like me to keep going?

What you're proposing is a city wide conglomerate of different smaller events in different locations held at the same time, not a large scale music festival.

Let's clear something up. TomorrowWorld was always meant to be in a rural area just like it is in the European version. Why? Part of the festival is that they intended for the concert goers to spend the entire weekend camping on the site. In other words, it could never be held intown because there is no way the city would allow camping for 150,000 people.

Secondly, the transportation issues that occurred the last time it was held was due to the torrential rains that fell and caused mud and other problems that come with heavy rains. There were no problems the first year the event was held to this magnitude because it was dry the whole time.

If they there related and held at the same, it's the same festival. Large festivals of any kind don't just have one stage in the first place. And they are usually generally city wide thing, this would just organize the events. So the city would Organized the crowds and it wouldn't be chaotic, Parks are made for public gathering The uniqueness of the connectivity and size of the Beltline would created better infrastructure for this then most cities.

I'm not being specific to TomorrowWorld but general festivals of that size of any type. Most would not involve camping they simply would go to hotels. But TomorrowWorld planning to be in rural areas creates that type of problems. The city can do better.

Yes this is doable, if you want a SXSW type of event in Atlanta, but festivals like TomorrowWorld/Coachella/Bonnaroo need to be held in rural areas to satisfy certain requirements:

1) Wide open area for quick access to several stages.
2) Camping
3) No city noise ordinances so you can go late (ShakyBeats in ATL, for example, ends at 11pm, which is unacceptable for fests like TomorrowWorld)

Ultra Miami and Lollapalooza are held in city parks but those parks are really big and by the water so you're not disturbing residential areas. They also cannot accomodate camping. Music Midtown is held at Piedmont park but that's much smaller in scale compared the the big ones.
