FESTIVAL TIP: At our Autograph Signing Sessions, photos are generally done at the END of the signing session. We kindly ask that no one takes posed photos in the signing line, as this really speeds up the process for everyone and helps ensure every fan gets to say a quick hello.

For safety reasons, we do not allow anyone behind the autograph table with the artists. Depending on the situation, a quick selfie while in front of the table is usually no issue. Generally, bands commit to a 30 minute session. Usually fans begin lining up around 30 minutes or so before the start of the session.

Center Stage Atlanta bars are cashless, so please plan accordingly. With that said, there are 2 ATMs inside the venue - 1 near the box office and another in the main lobby; however, they typically run out of cash quickly and aren’t restocked by the bank on weekends.

Take the free shuttle to Atlantic Station for shops and restaurants. Catch it from the MARTA Arts Center Station. It runs from 5am - 12am.

From Visions Of Atlantis FB page:

" PROGPOWER EXCLUSIVE MERCH!
Sailors of ProgPower: the treasure chest opens for you in Atlanta!

We’re bringing 2 special shirt designs to ProgPower USA — treasures you won’t find online and won’t see again once they’re gone.

Our super successful “Armada 8-bit” shirt, refreshed just for this festival, ready to sail with a new crew!

Plus a brand-new design, created for this adventure — exclusive to ProgPower USA and, for our European sailors, also appearing at Metal on the Hill (with its own local twist).

Don’t miss the chance to claim your piece of pirate history — gear up, stand proud, and show the world you sail under the black flag of the Armada! "

For coffee, check out Foxtail Coffee Co. It’s walkable from the venue.
1230 W Peachtree St NW, Suite 120 Atlanta, GA 30309
Open 6a-6p daily

We will host our official after party upstairs in The Loft on Friday & Saturday. No cover charge!

The closest Liquor Store is Mac’s. It’s about 1 mile from the venue.

If you are flying into Atlanta, we highly recommend taking a MARTA train from the airport to the Arts Center station which is one block from the venue. You board the train near baggage claim inside the airport.
The traffic in Atlanta is absolutely horrendous! It’s 13 miles from the airport to Center Stage Atlanta and an Uber/Lyft will be around $50 and take much longer.
MARTA = Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority. The cost per person is $2.50 each way.
Standard MARTA fare is $2.50 with four free transfers allowed within a three-hour period. These transfers are not valid for round trips.
You load money onto your Breeze card. For more info, check out:
https://itsmarta.com
And download the Breeze Mobile 2 app
