2018 location confirmed for BASH OF THE EMPIRE VII

Center Stage Atlanta will host BoTE VII on May 4th

Markster Con is excited to announce that one of Atlanta's best known venues, CENTER STAGE ATLANTA, will play host to the 7th annual BASH OF THE EMPIRE on May the 4th (be with you) as the galactic party saga continues!

CENTER STAGE ATLANTA is a mid-sized concert complex comprising three separate venues (Vinyl, The Loft and Center Stage Theater). Originally known as Theatre Atlanta, the concert hall was built in memorial to a young theater enthusiast. Upon its opening in the fall of 1966, the building functioned as a performing arts theater, but has since become primarily music-focused. February 2005 marked the arrival of The Loft to the complex.

The Loft, which will play host to BASH OF THE EMPIRE VII is located on the 2nd floor (located at 1374 West Peachtree Street NW), equipped with top of the line sound, multiple full service bars, a sleek interior and a view of the midtown skyline.

Adv. ticketing is now available via centerstage-atlanta.com
