About UniverSoul Circus

Founded in 1994 by entertainment visionary Cedric Walker, UniverSoul Circus is not just a circus — it is a full-throttle cultural experience that fuses the spectacle of traditional big top performance with the energy of hip-hop, gospel, R&B, and African heritage. Since its founding, UniverSoul has grown into one of the most beloved touring live entertainment productions in the United States, consistently selling out major markets from coast to coast.

Atlanta holds a special place in the UniverSoul story. The circus was born in Atlanta, making every return to the city a genuine homecoming. When UniverSoul pitches its tent in the Old Turner Field Grey Lot, it is not simply another tour stop — it is the show coming back to its roots. Atlanta audiences respond accordingly, and performances here carry an electricity that is unlike any other city on the tour.

The 2026 production delivers everything fans have come to expect and more: jaw-dropping aerial acrobatics, gravity-defying motorcycle stunts, world-class clowns, exotic animal presentations, limbo dancers, contortionists, and a live DJ and emcee who keep the energy at peak levels from the first act to the final bow. UniverSoul is specifically designed for the entire family, but it never talks down to its audience — the performances are sophisticated, technically masterful, and deeply entertaining for adults and children alike.

What to Expect at Old Turner Field Grey Lot

The Old Turner Field Grey Lot in Atlanta's historic Summerhill neighborhood is the traditional Atlanta home of UniverSoul Circus, and the setting is part of what makes this event so distinctive. The lot sits adjacent to the former Turner Field — now Georgia State University's Center Parc Stadium — giving the area a recognizable landmark feel for longtime Atlanta residents and visitors alike.

The UniverSoul big top tent creates an immersive, intimate atmosphere that larger arena venues simply cannot replicate. Every seat puts you close to the action. The circular layout of the traditional circus ring means that whether you are sitting ringside or in the upper sections, you are surrounded by performance on all sides. The sound system inside the tent is built for the show's musical backbone, so expect bass you feel as much as hear.

Arriving early is the smart play. The lot fills up, food vendors and merchandise booths surround the tent, and the pre-show atmosphere is genuinely festive. The Summerhill neighborhood itself has seen significant revitalization in recent years, with dining and entertainment options growing along Georgia Avenue. Fans driving in will find parking directly at and around the Grey Lot. For MARTA riders, the Georgia State station on the Blue and Green lines puts you within a manageable distance of the venue, making transit a legitimate option for avoiding lot congestion.
