I made a free little game for Shaky Knees 2026 ⚡🎸

I love Shaky Knees, and so I decided to build an entire festival sidequest app to keep my wife and I entertained all day.

👉 shaky.miller4ga.com

It’s called Shaky Sidequest, and the idea is to give us something fun to mess with during the festival.

You can:

🎯 Play Shaky Bingo — all the weird, funny stuff that inevitably happens at a music festival

📸 Complete a 30-item scavenger hunt — find weird outfits, crowd surfers, old band shirts, giant Ozzy/Lemmy, get to the barricade, meet other Shaky people, etc.

🏆 Earn points, badges and compete on the leaderboard

⚡ Build your festival schedule and see artist info/set times

⭐ Rate every band you see and build your own Shaky Knees scorecard

🔥 Post Moments from the weekend and react to everyone else's

🥚 And there are some hidden achievements/Easter eggs buried in there too.

The app is completely unofficial. I built it because I thought it would be fun to have a little community game running alongside the festival.

I would LOVE for you guys to beat the hell out of it before Shaky.

Try things. Click everything. Add test Moments. Play Bingo. Make a scorecard. Tell me what sucks, what's confusing, what's broken, or what would make it more fun. I'll erase all test data the night before the festival.

And if you've got ideas for Bingo squares, scavenger hunt challenges, badges, or other ridiculous festival achievements, please throw them at me.

See you weirdos at Piedmont Park. 🤘

It's my first time attending Shaky Knees / any late shows. Fcukers is performing at Terminal West (Doors at 11- I assume the show is at midnight?).

This might be a dumb question but Twenty One Pilots plays til 11- would I be able to make it in time for Fcukers? Google says its about an hour walk. Taking an Uber / car seems fine now but I imagine it'll be hell traffic wise getting out of Piedmont right at 11 when Twenty One Pilots ends. The MARTA isn't really near Terminal West at all.

As a non Atlanta native what's the strat for this situation? Just to book it the second TOP ends?

Seems the same as last year. Thoughts?

Saturday I’m mostly aiming to hang at Peachtree for Jimmy, PTV, and TOP. But was curious- is there any act earlier in the day that I’d be a fool to miss out on? Not familiar with many of the other acts performing that day.

For the bag policy, I have a small Carhartt fanny pack with 2 pockets. What’s the likelihood security makes a stink about it being more than one pocket? I’d rather not buy a new fannypack but will if it’s needed. Thank you!

Hey everyone! I’m so excited for my first shaky knees fest! I’m only going Saturday and would love some advice/recommendations! About anything!

but my main question is: is it possible to listen to artists from outside of the venue? where do you recommend sitting for that and will there be porta potties outside the venue?

thanks!

Heading to Shaky Knees solo or single and open to meeting someone? Let’s make a thread for it!

If you’re single, dating, casually looking, or just open to some chemistry while we’re all wandering around Piedmont Park, introduce yourself. Tell us your age, what kind of connection you’re open to, something about yourself (maybe your must see artists!), and what days you’ll be at the festival.

I’m thinking this could be a low-pressure way to find people to catch sets with, grab a drink, wander around together, or maybe see where the vibe goes. No expectations and no pressure — just music, meeting new people, and potentially finding someone you click with.

Drop an intro below if you’re interested! 👇

Hey I was wondering if anyone else who got their tickets from ticket exchange has gotten their wristbands and or any shipping confirmation.

Hi ! Is anyone going to both Shaky Knees and Camp Flog Gnaw ?

Garage Barbie was a really nice surprise!! I’ve been looking through the lineup and there’s some really promising up and coming bands. Currently listening to hotel fiction and Sophie’s body. I’m so excited!!!

Bio

>For over two decades Taking Back Sunday have maintained a consistent chart presence, moving beyond their emo and post-hardcore roots into a more versatile brand of hard melodic rock. After paying their dues amid the East Coast punk scene, they became one of the more visible groups of the early-2000s emo boom. In 2002, they released their platinum-selling debut LP, Tell All Your Friends, which layered Adam Lazzara's emotional vocals and the dual-guitar assault of Reyes and Nolan, creating a classic hardcore sound with pop songwriting components. They soon vaulted into the mainstream with a trio of Top Ten albums including 2006's Louder Now. Despite a handful of significant lineup shifts, Taking Back Sunday have continued to record and tour into the 2020s.

Live Footage: If you don't know their live reputation, I hate to be the one to break it to you... Cell footage of Cute Without the E (+ full set) at WWWY 2024 OR AOL sessions from 2006 for old time's sake

Reddit Take of the Day: "It’s like 80% a karaoke concert at this point but it’s still fun... YOLO."

I can unfortunately no longer attend the festival and have two GA+ tickets available for the entire weekend. If you haven't used GA+ before, I personally think it's super worth it for limited lines, semi-private bathrooms (with AC!), and general comfort.

I have them listed on the Shaky Knees official resale portal at cost, but there's limited awareness of the portal even existing.

Figure I'd post here and see if anyone is interested, and I can point them to my tickets on the official portal. Thanks!

Did anyone else staying at this hotel just get a call saying their reservation was cancelled because another group extended their stay? My group of 4 is now scrambling to find something else unless we want to stay all the way downtown. The lady on the phone told me she's made so many calls today so I assume it wasn't just us that got booted.

First time attending and not sure what the timeline usually looks like for wristbands!

EDIT: thank you all for your insight, much appreciated :)

Hi friends!! I am absolutely stoked for my first Shaky Knees attendance!! Coming on here to ask the girlies who have gone before… what kind of cute/fun outfits have yall worn?? I’m trying to get some ideas of what I should wear for the day that I’ll be attending! 😊

Hi! So I used the layaway payment plan for my GA ticket and it said that I would get my wristband sent after I paid off the plan. Do they send any tracking info for the wrist bands when they ship it out or do I have to wait and see if they come in? I got the email that said they were going to start shipping out wristbands in August but wanted to know if they send a separate email for tracking.

43M, sober, extra 3-day GA+ band. I'd be up for going with someone I might hit it off with. No expectations beyond a good festival weekend! (Not looking to sell or trade.)

hey all! i'm attending shaky knees next month and recieved my wristbands in the mail yesterday. out of excitement and lack of judgement on reading the instructions i put one wristband on and tightened it not realizing it would lock. i've read the replacement band policy but still have a question in regards.

i did not buy my tickets, a friend did. she paid for two tickets for my partner and i and the friend who bought them will not be attending the festival with me nor will she be nearby. am i still able to use my own ID and all the other proof of purchase etc to buy a replacement?

TLDR; if someone else not attending bought my tickets can i still purchase a replacement wristband at the festival? TIA!!

Hi all! Has anyone on here experienced having to bring medications and food in for medical conditions?
What is it like and how does it work,
ALSO if you have mobility issues and don’t use canes/chair or anything are their any accommodations they provide?
Just asking for some clarification the website doesn’t quite cover

Paid extra for the collectible. Gifting the set of tickets and collectibles for my mom. They didn’t ship it and said I have to wait to go get it at the box office. Any other suggestions?
