Festival to Include Over 5 Stages: Main Aquatic, Live, House, DnB, Silent Disco, Satellite Stages and More

Tickets on Sale Now for Atlanta’s Largest EDM Camping Festival

Atlanta, GA (May 10, 2016) – After much speculation, Imagine Music Festival, a 3-day camping electronic dance music festival in Atlanta, Georgia, has released that the Atlanta Motor Speedway will be the venue for its third annual event on August 26 through 28, 2016. Doubling in attendance each year, the rapid growth made it necessary for Imagine to move from its former home in the Historic Fourth Ward Park to the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Located on 887 acres and just 15 miles south of the airport, the landmark Atlanta site includes capacity for over 100,000 per day; grass fields for the festival’s new camping options; onsite parking; over 100 RV spaces with full hook-ups; premium RV spaces overlooking the festival grounds and more. In short, Atlanta Motor Speedway will provide Imagine Music Festival with the infrastructure and amenities yet to be seen by a music and camping festival of its size anywhere in the Southeast.

“At the end of last year’s event, we knew it was time to say goodbye to Historic Fourth Ward Park and find a new home, which would provide us with the opportunity to give Imaginers with more than ever before. The impressive facility and welcoming staff at Atlanta Motor Speedway won our hearts. We are thrilled to call Atlanta Motor Speedway our new home and are confident our fans will feel the magic,” says Iris Presents founders Glenn and Madeleine Goodhand.

As one of the country’s last remaining independent festivals, Imagine is an all-encompassing, 360-degree sensory experience that blends music, circus troupes, performers, dancers, transformational village, art, workshops, classes and more. Imagine will continue its immersive aquatic fairytale with an abundance of performers, live acts, unique atmospheres, amusement rides, vendors and The Imaginarium’s variety of sacred teachings, ceremonies, and transformational workshops.

With over five stages across the speedway in-field and camping including the main aquatic stage, live stage, house stage, DnB stage, and silent disco, Imagine is poised to join the ranks of some of EDM’s biggest and best
