Shaky Beats Fest has brought EDM, indie and hip-hop artists to Atlanta since 2016, and now, for its 2019 edition, the festival has announced that powerhouse DJs Martin Garrix and Rüfüs Du Sol will headline.
San Holo, Fisher Big Gigantic, Ekali and Boogie T are among the other acts bringing the beats to the two-day festival, happening May 10–11. The fest will return to Central Park, its 2018 location.

The beats festival makes a point to highlight some of Atlanta's own artists; local acts include Mantis, Eddie Gold, Movin' Keyz, DJ Zoe Gray, and Airwolf.
In October, San Holo spoke with the Recording Academy about fan energy at his live shows, including festivals:
"Honestly, sometimes people [are] at the show and they are just standing there, listening, and I first start to think "Oh, they're bored" or something, or like, I should be more energetic, I have to jump around, but I still have to realize [that there are some] people that really don't, they just listen, might actually be the biggest [kind of] music fans there are [at] festivals. They just stand there in the back, just listening and I really appreciate those people because they don't care if I really scream, "One, two, three, jump," or something, they don't care about that stuff. They just want to hear me play guitar and like do my thing. But, honestly, actually, everyone at the shows ... whatever you want to do, if you want to jump that's fine, if you want to dance around that's fine, if you want to do nothing that's fine, as long as you feel something."
