Electric Avenue Concert July 25 – Reservations Required

Published

5 years ago

July 16, 2020

The Summer Concert Series is back for its second year! Join us for the Summer Concert Series at the Town Green at Peachtree Corners Town Center from 5:30 PM – 9:30 PM, July 25. Admission is FREE with reservations to enjoy live music and food vendors. Fans can also visit one of the many restaurants located within the Town Center and bring food to the Town Green.

FOR ALL ATTENDEES, FACE MASKS AND 6-FOOT SOCIAL DISTANCING IS REQUIRED FOR ALL CONCERTS.

Electric Avenue delivers spot-on renditions of Tears for Fears, Wham!, Duran Duran, Simple Minds, Howard Jones, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Level 42, Naked Eyes, Soft Cell, Kenny Loggins, INXS, Prince, The Clash, OMD, David Bowie and more.

Barring the invention of time travel, Electric Avenue is, hands down, the most fun and exciting 80’s Pop Tribute you’re going to find anywhere this side of 1988. A high-definition snapshot of an era when vintage synthesizers and drum machines were at the top of the food chain, and bring back memories of a thing called Radio.

Peachtree Corners Magazine staff

Maintenance and repairs will take place from March through July; the deck will remain open to the public throughout

Starting the week of March 24, the City of Peachtree Corners will begin scheduled maintenance and repairs on the Town Center Parking Deck. These improvements are expected to continue through July 2025 and are necessary to ensure the longevity of the structure.

During this period, the deck will remain open to the public, but the repair areas will be temporarily closed on a rolling basis. These closures will allow crews to efficiently complete the necessary work while minimizing disruption to tenants, customers and residents.

To assist with navigation, directional signage, barriers and other safety measures will be in place to guide drivers and pedestrians safely around work areas. For public safety, drivers must follow the directional signage and only park in the open sections of the deck.

The city appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as they work to maintain a safe and well-functioning parking facility.
