It’s baaaaack. Afropunk’s Carnival of Consciousness Atlanta 2018 is returning this weekend for two days of soulful music, loud and abstract art and colorful and free expression. The dates are Saturday, October 13 & Sunday, October 14.
The event has added a number of musical artists to its lineup, including Death Grips, Pusha T, Kaytranada, Rico Nasty and more.
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. “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.
