The Official Birthday Bash Afterparty Hosted by Future

As festival season quickly comes to a close, A3C Music Festival & Conference is slated to unofficially end the trendy pastime with a 5-day music festival and conference in Atlanta.

Not categorized by bohemian-style clothing or frivolous accessories like glow sticks, A3C has served as a platform for hip-hop and R&B artists (primarily from the southern region) to showcase their talents on intimate stages across the city for ten years and counting.

In its 11th year, A3C also incorporates the element of live panels and conferences detailing the ins and outs of navigating the music business, as well as understanding the history behind the art and culture of hip-hop through academia, film, fashion, and social responsibility.

Fans can expect appearances from Father, 2 Chainz, Rakim, Wiz Khalifa, Beanie Sigel, Just Blaze, Cam’ron, Raury, DeJ Loaf, Mike WiLL Made-It, OG Maco, Curren$y, and so many more dope artists.

The conference portion of the festival is Thursday, October 8 to Saturday, October 10 at The Loudermilk Center in downtown Atlanta. If you’re heading down to the dirty south to experience A3C, click here to download the smartphone app.
