Sunflower Concert Series – The 80’s Walkmen

Tuesday, September 16 | 7:00 pm 9:00 pm

Due to predicted weather, the Sunflower Concert on Tuesday, Sept. 16, featuring The 80’s Walkmen has been moved into the Conservatory.

The Sunflower Concert Series at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia invites the community to enjoy live music amidst the beauty of the garden. Held in the picturesque Flower Garden, these concerts provide an unforgettable experience.

Guests are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs and picnic dinners to savor while enjoying the music. Each ticket includes snacks and beverages. This year, concerts will feature one band with no opening act. In case of inclement weather, concerts will be relocated to the Visitor Center and Conservatory.

Season passes, which include tickets to all four concerts, are $80 for adults and $40 for children ages 5-16. Ticket prices for single concerts are $24 for adults and $12 for children ages 5-16. Children under 5 are admitted free of charge. 

Adult tickets purchased at the gate will be $26. Friends of the Garden Members receive a 10% discount.

Tickets sold at the gate must be purchased with a card; cash will not be accepted. All ticket prices are subject to additional fees.

Playing the best of 80’s college rock and new wave, the 80’s Walkmen are sure to bring you back to the days of jamming to your cassette mix-tape in your dorm room or on your car stereo. From U2 to Devo, the Police to The Cure, R.E.M. to Elvis Costello and many more, the 80’s Walkmen deliver hit after hit in highly entertaining fashion.
