Hayley Kiyoko is coming to Atlanta this week to perform at the Buckhead Theatre. The former child actor who appeared in Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel, will bring her pop music to Atlanta on Friday, May 11.
Hayley Kiyoko Comes To Buckhead Theatre
Kiyoko, who used to sing in the music group The Stunners, struck out on her own after the group disbanded in 2011. In the following years, Kiyoko stayed busy by performing in three solo extended plays: A Belle to Remember (2013), This Side of Paradise (2015), and Citrine(2016).
She blew up on the strength of her single “Girls Like Girls”, where she self-directed the video and sang of her love for girls. All grown up now, she told The Guardian “If I had to write that song again, I probably would make an edit on it.”

“This extension was our primary focus this offseason,” said General Manager Thomas Dimitroff. “Matt has been a pillar of stability for this franchise for a decade, and it is a great feeling knowing that he will remain at our helm for six more years. Matt has proven to be a leader for this franchise on and off the field, and we are fortunate to have him as our quarterback. Matt has guided us to a decade of success that is unmatched in franchise history, but we all know there is more to be accomplished, and we are confident we can get that done with Matt.”
A 10-year NFL veteran, Ryan has passed for more yards in his first decade of playing than any other quarterback in league history. In 2016, Ryan won the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
In 2013, Ryan signed a six-year, $103.75 million contract that was due to expire after the this season.
