What we’re about

A society consists of like-minded people governed by their own norms and values within a dominant, larger environment- Welcome to the Atlanta Rock & Metal Society!

This meetup group is a judgement free zone, designed for all metro Atlanta fans of rock and metal music to come together and enjoy all things rock! What’s not to love about going to see great live shows with some good friends, right? We plan events that take us to a variety of the greatest live venues that Atlanta has to offer, as well as other gatherings that will allow us to chill and socialize as a group.
In the spirit of building a true Society we have a few basic rules:

• We require that all members attend at least one event in each calendar year, this is a MeetUp group after all!

• In the event that you amass 3 no-shows, we will give you the boot! It's inconsiderate and downright rude to stand up you fellow Society Members!

• We also require each user include a photo in their profile so that we may be able to identify you when you come to events.
So, if you are a fan of Rock/Hard Rock/Metal and, can abide by these rules ...Come rock out with us!

Summer Anthem Tour 2025

Goo Goo Dolls 🎸✨
Formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, this rock powerhouse is led by the dynamic duo of John Rzeznik (guitar/vocals) and Robby Takac (bass/vocals). What started as a scrappy cover band with a punk edge morphed into a hit-making machine 🎶. Their big break came with the 1995 hit "Name", but it was the iconic "Iris" in 1998 that cemented their place in music history 🎵—spending a jaw-dropping 11 months on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the Hot 100 Airplay chart for 18 weeks! 🏆 With 15 million records sold worldwide, 7 Top 40 hits, and 4 Grammy nominations, their catalog is stacked with unforgettable tracks like "Slide", "Black Balloon", and "Broadway" (all from Dizzy Up the Girl) to anthems like "Better Days" and "Stay with You". Whether you're reminiscing or discovering them for the first time, the Goo Goo Dolls always deliver a soundtrack to your feels. 🎤

Dashboard Confessional 🎵
Straight outta Boca Raton, Florida, Dashboard Confessional has been tugging at heartstrings since 1999. Led by the ultimate emo poster boy, Christopher Carrabba, this band started as a one-man acoustic act pouring out raw, soul-baring emotions 🌧️💔. The name itself came from a lyric in “The Sharp Hint of New Tears” (all the feels, right?). By 2001, Carrabba evolved Dashboard into a full-fledged band, becoming the face of the rejuvenated emo movement. Their peak? Absolute bangers like "Vindicated" (Spider-Man 2 vibes 🕷️), "Hands Down", "Screaming Infidelities", and "Stolen", which defined the early 2000s. After dominating the scene with A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar (2003) and Dusk and Summer (2006), they stepped back—only to roar back in 2018 with Crooked Shadows and hit us again with 2022’s introspective All the Truth That I Can Tell. Whether you're belting out their classics or diving into their newer tracks, Dashboard is a band that knows how to hit you right in the feels. 🖤🎸
