Atlanta, Georgia (April 19, 2012) - C3 Presents, MCP Presents, and Liquified have joined forces to bring CounterPoint, a new two-day music and arts festival, to Atlanta, Georgia this September 28 and 29, 2012. The multi-stage festival with camping options will be held at the location of 2007's The Echo Project, a 350-acre, scenic Chattahoochee river front property just south of metropolitan Atlanta. Partnering with local businesses, restaurants, artists and more, CounterPoint is expanding upon the format of its predecessor with the inclusion of interactive elements throughout the festival grounds. In addition to a stellar music lineup, planned environments include: an arts village, extreme sports demonstrations, a beer garden featuring local breweries, a food truck component, local chefs, and a college football viewing area. Detailed information and performers will be released in the coming weeks.
Produced by C3 Presents (Austin City Limits Music Festival, Lollapalooza), MCP Presents (Camp Bisco, Lights All Night, The Echo Project), and Liquified (Liquified Universe, Liquified Events), CounterPoint marks the first partnership for the three companies.
"As the Southeast�s beacon of culture and diversity, Atlanta is the ideal location to launch CounterPoint." states CounterPoint Co-Producer and MCP Partner Brett Keber. "We are partnering with local vendors, restaurants, chefs, breweries, artists and musicians in order to create a world-class event that is also uniquely Atlanta."
Located approximately 30 minutes travel time from Downtown Atlanta, Georgia, CounterPoint plans on bringing the city to the pristine festival site. Elements such as preferred viewing areas, VIP table service, multiple VIP levels, and car service will be available. Daily express shuttle service to and from Atlanta as well as day parking will also be offered for those guests not wishing to camp onsite.
