Shaky Knees Festival confirmed the addition of Highly Suspect to its Saturday lineup for the September 20, 2025 event at Piedmont Park, Atlanta. The alternative rock band returns after a previous appearance, stirring a mix of hype and skepticism among fans.
Reactions are split: some recall early Highly Suspect sets dogged by the lead singer’s onstage intoxication, while others highlight recent improved performances with solid vocals and strong crowd rapport. The announcement also disappointed fans hoping for other acts like Manchester Orchestra.
Shaky Knees’ 2025 lineup boasts headliners Deftones, My Chemical Romance, and Blink-182, plus over 50 artists across three days (September 19-21). Highly Suspect’s return adds a familiar yet contentious flavor to the festival’s diverse rock roster.
Expect lively debate inside the community as festival season approaches.
