Piedmont Park will stage Shaky Knees on September 18–20, 2026, with festival hours starting late Friday afternoon and full-day programming on Saturday and Sunday; the site offers direct connections to MARTA stations and the Atlanta Beltline, making it feasible to combine rail, scooter and on-demand taxi or private transfer pickups for efficient last-mile movement into and out of Midtown.

On-site shuttle services typically run every 10–20 minutes during peak arrival windows, and the nearest major airport (Nashville International) lies roughly 60–65 miles from the festival grounds, so plan transfers that allow at least 3–4 hours door-to-gate to avoid missing set times.

Bonnaroo’s Farm concentrates large passenger flows around headline sets, and for Confidence Man on Saturday expect heightened demand for drop‑offs, shuttle capacity and taxi lanes immediately before and after the performance; plan for longer queue times at the main exits and allow extra transfer time when coordinating rides to the airport or downtown destinations.

Mesa Amphitheatre’s access points funneled most of the post-show traffic onto the main egress route, concentrating pickups for rideshare and taxi services into a handful of designated lanes that significantly reduced dwell time for vehicles and passengers after the sold-out Levity concert.
