Atlanta, get ready to move. On June 11, 2026, the legendary Buckhead Theatre is about to transform into a pulsating, sweat-soaked temple of rhythm when KOKOROKO rolls into town. This is not just a concert — this is a full-body, soul-shaking experience that the ATL music scene has been begging for, and it is finally happening right here in our backyard.

Who Is KOKOROKO?

If you have not yet been baptized in the sound of KOKOROKO, let us fix that right now. This powerhouse London-based collective burst onto the global music scene with a ferocity that left critics and fans absolutely speechless. Drawing deeply from the rich wells of Afrobeat, jazz, and West African musical traditions, KOKOROKO crafts a sound that feels both ancient and utterly modern. Their 2019 self-titled EP racked up millions of streams practically overnight, and their full-length debut Could We Be More cemented their status as one of the most vital and exciting live acts on the planet.

Led by the magnetic trumpet of Sheila Maurice-Grey, KOKOROKO is an eight-piece force of nature. Every member brings virtuosic skill and raw passion to the stage, creating a wall of sound that will hit you square in the chest and refuse to let go. Their live performances are the stuff of legend — intense, joyful, and completely electric from the first note to the last.
