Options for catching live shows around intown Atlanta just keep coming.

Following the announcement this month that megaproject Centennial Yards has signed a 5,300-capacity Live Nation music venue (and the advent of The Eastern and other venues in recent years), Underground Atlanta revealed today a familiar Midtown name, Ravine, plans to claim a considerably large space downtown soon.

Ravine is partnering with Underground owner Lalani Ventures to open a two-stage, 181,000-square-foot live music and performance venue called Ravine at Underground. Ravine formerly operated from 2018 to the pandemic doldrums of 2021 at the building where Peachtree Street meets 11th Street, currently home to Prime on Peachtree.

Designed for “high-energy, large-scale” performances, Ravine will mark the largest live venue at Underground to date, according to Underground officials. The space Ravine is taking previously functioned as a parking garage, where global artists such as Diplo and Tiësto performed last year for more than 5,000 attendees each.

Plans call for event space both indoors and outdoors. One stage will be able to host up to 6,000 attendees (for context, the Fox Theatre’s capacity is 4,665) and the other 2,500 people.

While in Midtown, Ravine hosted notable artists such as Kaskade, Eric Prydz, Dom Dolla, and Charlotte de Witte, along with private gatherings with the likes of Maroon 5, Lil Baby, and 2 Chainz.

Ravine will follow the much-hyped debut earlier this year of MJQ nightclub in the former Dante’s Down the Hatch space. It will also join Underground entertainment options including four-venue concert hall The Masquerade, a 30,000-square-foot event hall, and The Frisky Whisker, a sound gallery and art space that features a cat research and therapy center.

Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens added in Underground’s announcement the district’s growth reflects his administration’s broader goal for a “renaissance” downtown.

“A thriving, safe downtown benefits our economy, businesses, [Georgia State University] students and faculty, current residents, visitors, and our city’s ability to keep having major events and conventions choose Atlanta,” said Dickens.
