Atlanta, get ready to turn it up. On July 18, 2026, the Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre is about to become the funkiest address in the entire Southeast. The Evening of Funk is bringing together three of the most iconic groove machines in music history — ConFunkShun, The Ohio Players, and The Original Lakeside — for one monumental, bass-thumping, soul-shaking night under the Georgia stars. If you let this one slip by, you will absolutely regret it.

Three Legends. One Night. Zero Excuses.

This isn't just a concert — this is a living, breathing history lesson in Black music and American funk culture. Each of these acts helped define the sound of a generation, and seeing all three on the same bill is the kind of rare opportunity that doesn't come around twice. Atlanta has always been a city that respects its musical roots, and this lineup is tailor-made for fans who know what real groove sounds like.

The Artists: Icons of the Funk Era

  • ConFunkShun — These smooth funk soul architects gave the world timeless cuts like "Ffun" and "Love's Train." Their silky blend of R&B and funk has kept dance floors packed for decades, and their live show still hits with the same fire they brought in their prime.
  • The Ohio Players — The band behind "Love Rollercoaster" and "Fire" is nothing short of legendary. Raw, gritty, and impossibly funky, The Ohio Players are one of the cornerstones of the entire genre. Seeing them live is a bucket-list experience.
  • The Original Lakeside — Known for the infectious classic "Fantastic Voyage," Lakeside brings a party-ready energy that will have the whole amphitheatre moving from the very first note. Pure, uncut funk energy — no fillers, no gimmicks.
