Some nights are built to escalate, and this one did exactly that. Four bands, each heavier than the last, all packed into the Coca-Cola Roxy on a Braves game night, which already had the area chaotic before doors even opened. Once inside though, it locked in quick. This wasn’t a casual crowd. People showed up early and stayed engaged the entire night, which says a lot when you’re starting this heavy right out of the gate.

The Heaven room at The Masquerade filled in quickly on April 11 as The Devil Wears Prada brought the Flowers Tour through Atlanta. The floor tightened up early, the crowd was engaged before the lights even dropped, and the energy carried from the first band all the way through the encore.

If you are heading to SweetWater 420 Fest this weekend, this is everything you actually need to know before you go. From getting in smoothly to knowing who to catch, this guide will save you time once you’re on site.
