It’s baaaaack. Afropunk’s Carnival of Consciousness Atlanta 2019 is returning this weekend for two days of soulful music, loud and abstract art and colorful and free expression. The dates are Saturday, October 12 & Sunday, October 13.
The event will feature two days of incredible musical artists, as always, and we will be sure to update you on the lineup. Previously, Atlanta has been blessed to see such artists as Willow Smith, Miguel, Alice Smith and more.
Afropunk’s Carnival of Consciousness Atlanta 2019 Set For Oct. 12, 13
Like last year, it will be held on Windsor Street near downtown Atlanta.
The annual festival pays homage to cultural cornerstones through music, film, skate, and art. The musical lineup will be announced later this week. Last year, major acts such as Solange, Willow Smith, Danny Brown and Alice Smith rocked the crowd.
“When we started the festival, it was meant as a platform for alternative black talent and to grow an audience we felt did not understand festival culture and therefore wouldn’t pay for it,” co-founder Matthew Morgan told Billboard.com in 2015.
Afropunk Atlanta has been a labor of love as well for Morgan. “We put a lot in by supporting the community for 10 years, so to have the community turn around and support the event, we were extremely happy about that.”
Tickets to the Carnival of Consciousness are on sale now. You can also volunteer and get an earned ticket by working on site.
Afropunk Atlanta: Ticket information

The new Atlanta Falcons did an epic troll of the New Orleans Saints on the day 2019 NFL schedules were released. The Falcons produced a video that shows a ram running over a saint.
The video animation shows the Falcons 2019 opponents arriving in Atlanta and Mercedes-Benz Stadium downtown. The action takes place at the 40 second mark.
Video: Watch the Falcons troll the Saints
Football is coming.
Full Schedule ➡️https://t.co/vNuHMKwxTs pic.twitter.com/Xb91bWV7dB
— Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) April 17, 2019
The squad will begin their third campaign in the still-new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where they look to be playing at home during the Super Bowl.
In the playoffs last year, the Saints were famously stiffed by the referees during a last-game call against the Rams that was clearly pass interference.
But there’s no love lost from Atlanta fans. The Saints were the loudest when the Falcons blew a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl a few years back.
New Orleans and Atlanta make up one of the fiercest rivalries in all of football. For decades, both teams have traded seasons in the NFL’s cellar, but over the last decade both squads have fielded winning teams annually.
This season figures to be no different. See the 2019 Atlanta Falcons schedule here.
The Atlanta Falcons 2019 Football Schedule will be a real test for the Birds, especially at home. This is already one of the toughest NFL schedules for 2019.

Dirty Bird Fever has began in earnest right now. That’s because the new Atlanta Falcons 2019 schedule has been released.
The squad will begin their third campaign in the still-new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where they look to be playing at home during the Super Bowl.
Atlanta Falcons 2019 Football Schedule
Falcons owner Arthur Blank has invested heavily in the team’s offense, hoping that the triad of quarterback Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley can score early and often in the 2019 season.
Is that a Ram? Watch the Falcons troll the Saints in 2019 schedule video
lThe team has also shored up defensive and offensive lines, which both struggled at times last season.
Julio Jones, Muhammad Sanu and Devante Freeman will all be back and looking to reignite the firepower that was No. 1 in the league third seasons ago.
Atlanta Falcons 2019 Football Schedule
The Atlanta Falcons 2019 Football Schedule will be a real test for the Birds, especially at home. This is already one of the toughest NFL schedules for 2019.
Week 1: Atlanta Falcons vs. Minnesota Vikings 12-28
The Falcons opened the season with a crushing loss against the Minnesota Vikings. Matt Ryan threw for 302 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
The Falcons running backs amassed 73 yards and Julio Jones was held to 31 yards.
Week 2: Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles 24-20
Matt Ryan threw for 320 yards and had three touchdowns and three interceptions as the Falcons survived the Eagles in week 2. Julio Jones had 106 yards and two touchdowns on six receptions.
Meanwhile, Devonta Freeman was held to 22 yards on 11 carries.
Week 3: Atlanta Falcons vs. Indianapolis Colts 24-27
The Falcons lost for the second time in three weeks, falling to Jacoby Brissett and the Indianapolis Colts, 24-27.
Matt Ryan threw for 304 yards, three touchdowns and just one interception, but it was a crucial pick deep in Colts territory that would have surely led to some points.
After a terrible first half, Ryan connected on 23 of 24 passes, but the Colts did just enough to win.
Week 4: Atlanta Falcons vs. Tennessee Titans
The Falcons entered week 4 with a sloppy resume on offense and defense. The team is still seeking its identity and a path to victory after falling in the NFC South.
