A3C Festival is an indoor/outdoor festival in downtown Atlanta featuring some of the most renowned artists in hip-hop. The 2-Day at the Georgia Freight Depot featuring 2 stages, food trucks, and games. A breeding ground for the next generation of stars while honoring the legends and trailblazers of hip-hop.

Joyner Lucas is from Worcester, Massachusetts currently signed to Atlantic Records. He garnered widespread exposure and critical acclaim after the release of his single "Ross Capicchioni" in 2015. In 2017, he released his fourth mixtape (and first on a major label), 508-507-2209 and performed at the A3C Festival.
