Two weekends ago, Shaky Knees Festival moved to Piedmont Park here in Paste‘s home base of Atlanta to celebrate its 12th year of events, welcoming acts like Devo and Deftones and the Beaches, Vampire Weekend, and My Chemical Romance to the Peachtree Stage, where they all performed to some of the largest crowds in the festival’s history.
