Fox Theatre: Atlanta's Premier Concert Destination
The Fox Theatre is Atlanta's crown jewel of live entertainment. Opened in 1929 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Fox seats approximately 4,665 guests beneath its legendary atmospheric ceiling — a night sky of twinkling stars and drifting clouds painted above a Moorish and Egyptian-inspired interior that has to be seen to be believed. There is no generic arena experience here. Every seat in the Fox is a front-row seat to Atlanta history.
Located at 660 Peachtree Street NE in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, the Fox Theatre sits at the center of the city's cultural corridor. The venue is easily accessible via MARTA's North Avenue station, putting it within a short walk for riders on the Red and Gold lines. Street parking and nearby decks are available throughout Midtown, and the neighborhood's walkable restaurant and bar scene makes a pre-show dinner in Midtown an easy tradition for Atlanta concertgoers.
The Fox has hosted everyone from Elton John to the Metropolitan Opera, from Broadway touring productions to the biggest names in classic rock, R&B, and soul. When Atlanta wants to celebrate a true musical legend, the Fox Theatre is the room where it happens. For a Smokey Robinson concert in Atlanta, there is no more fitting stage.
Smokey Robinson Takes the Stage
Smokey Robinson is not simply a music icon — he is one of the architects of American popular music. As a founding member of The Miracles and the creative engine behind Motown Records in its golden era, Robinson wrote, produced, and performed some of the most enduring songs in the history of recorded music. Tracks like "Tears of a Clown," "Cruisin'," "Being with You," "Ooo Baby Baby," and "My Girl" — which he wrote for The Temptations — are woven permanently into the fabric of American culture.
Berry Gordy, the founder of Motown, once called Smokey Robinson "the greatest living poet." Bob Dylan agreed. With a career spanning more than six decades, Robinson continues to perform with the warmth, precision, and effortless vocal brilliance that made him a legend. His live shows are not nostalgia tours — they are masterclasses in songcraft delivered by a performer who still commands a stage with complete authority.
