Stationed in the northern Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta, Georgia, the Ameris Bank Amphitheatre welcomed co-headliners Halestorm and I Prevail to town on a steamy Wednesday night in the South. This summer tour bill was rounded out with two supporting acts in tow, notably the Hollywood Undead and Fit For A King. Built in 2008, this 12,000 capacity open air venue is a destination spot for concert goers, especially for those brave enough to battle the nearly unbearable summer heat with uncovered lawn seats to simply enjoy an evening of musical hits from their favorite artists. Unlike most shows I have covered at Ameris Bank, the orchestra seats were removed on Wednesday night making way for a large audience pit.
