CounterPoint Festival (April 25-27 - Kingston Downs, GA) Preview
Published: March 12, 2014
By: Alison Mercedes Manno
Over the past three years CounterPoint has hosted some of the biggest names in the game, and this year is no exception.
You might remember Big Boi in 2012’s lineup, and this year he’s breaking records. He’s back with his partner and crime for Outkast’s first show, at home, in over 10 years! If that didn’t just sell you off the bat, Big Boi and Andre 3000 are joined by Pretty Lights, Foster the People, STS9, J. Cole, Major Lazer, Krewella, Big Gigantic, Flux Pavilion, Above & Beyond, Matt & Kim, Thievery Corporation -- among many more -- this is sure to be one for the books.
Located a little over an hour outside of Atlanta, GA, the festival grounds roll across 5,000 acres of North Georgia hills and the grounds are surrounded by the Etowah River. And being able to catch this killer sunset every night? Sold.
In a little more than a month, Kingston Downs, GA will have more than 4 stages and 70+ performers from all over the world. CounterPoint will be back for its second year April 25-27, 2014.

Music
There are so many incredible acts to see on the lineup, which is daunting in its breadth and depth, so don't you worry, we've compiled a list of the Top 10 Must See Acts, as well as the Top 10 Emerging EDM Acts on the bill!
Art
The music isn’t the only great thing about CounterPoint. There will be large art installations all over the hills from the creative souls who hope to inspire and amaze. Art Village will house vendors of arts, crafts, and other awesome merchandise with the Chattahoochee Hills as the backdrop.
