Take MARTA to see Paul McCartney


On Friday, workers continued to put the final touches on the venue for Saturday night's Green Concert with Paul McCartney. This is the biggest outdoor production that music producer Peter Colon has ever done, with 70 semi-trucks of production material and a million and a half dollars of just stage and production costs alone.

Baby, you can’t drive my car. Or yours.
That’s what the Georgia Department of Transportation is singing as a former Beatle prepares to headline an Atlanta concert on a Saturday brimming with several other big downtown events and, you got it, lane closures on the Downtown Connector.

Paul McCartney, who has been opening recent shows with “Drive My Car,” is expected to draw tens of thousands to Piedmont Park for his first outdoor Atlanta concert in 44 years. Also on Saturday, at the Georgia World Congress Center, some 50,000 hair stylists are expected to attend the Bronner Bros. International Hair Show.
