ATLiens Tribute and Def Squad members Keith Murray & Erick Sermon added to #A3C96

Written by Mike Walbert | Aug 16

Just when you thought it couldn't get ANY better, we go and do this... Erick Sermon and Keith Murray are joining the line-up to make this a Def Squad affair... but we didn't stop there.

We’ve called upon some of the best musicians and MCs in Atlanta - along with Mr. DJ (Legendary DJ/Producer for Outkast) on the turntables - to perform an ATLiens Tribute Live at 1996 show.  ATLiens is the soundtrack of Atlanta, and we couldn't celebrate 1996 without it.  ATLiens changed the trajectory of the Atlanta, the city’s music scene.   The album created a spotlight on the city and a platform for other artists.  The list of MCs will be announced soon.

We are bringing ‘96 back!

1996 will permeate 2016 A3C Festival & Conference throughout the 5-days.  A3C & Mass Appeal will be hosting a series of ‘96 themed events, panels and interviews culminating with the 1996 Show on A3C’s Main Stage, Saturday, October 8th.  The 1996 Show will feature some of ‘96s most iconic artists including: Bone Thugs N Harmony, Bun B, Too $hort, Redman, Erick Sermon & Keith Murray of Def Squad, Kid Capri and an ATLiens Tribute Show w/ Mr. DJ

A3C and Mass Appeal will continue to release performing artists, DJs and hosts as we get closer to the show.

The A3C Festival & Conference takes place in Atlanta, GA from Wednesday, October 5, 2016 to Sunday, October 9, 2016.

Single Day Passes are available for ONLY $54 until Sept 23rd.
