About Georgia Theatre

The Georgia Theatre is a cornerstone of Athens' vibrant music scene. Located at 215 N Lumpkin St in downtown Athens, this mid-sized venue has hosted generations of iconic acts and remains a hub for live performances. Following a 2009 fire, the theatre was rebuilt and reopened on August 1, 2011, preserving its storied identity while adding modern touches, including a rooftop bar. The venue seats roughly 1,000 attendees, with general admission on the main floor and no fixed seating for most shows, creating an intimate, dynamic concert experience.
