Shaky Knees Music Festival has added a late but electrifying addition to its 2025 lineup—Highly Suspect are now officially confirmed to perform at the Atlanta event. The Grammy-nominated rock outfit will bring their high-intensity live show to Piedmont Park across the festival’s run from 19th to 21st September, 2025. Known for their gritty sound and dynamic stage presence, the band's inclusion adds even more depth to an already powerhouse bill.

The Massachusetts trio join an impressive lineup that includes headliners Deftones, My Chemical Romance, Blink-182, and Lenny Kravitz. Also on the bill are Vampire Weekend, Cage The Elephant, Public Enemy, Pixies, The Black Keys, and dozens more across a variety of genres. With their mix of alternative rock and blues influences, Highly Suspect are a perfect match for Shaky Knees’ reputation as a haven for rock purists and indie fans alike.

This year’s edition marks a return to Piedmont Park and has already seen strong demand, with 3-Day GA+ and VIP tickets now officially sold out. Limited GA passes remain, so fans are encouraged to secure tickets quickly to avoid missing out on one of the Southeast’s premier music events.

With the addition of Highly Suspect, Shaky Knees continues to strengthen its identity as a must-attend destination for live rock in all its forms. Expect a powerful, guitar-fuelled set that will no doubt be a highlight of the weekend.
