October is gearing up to be an extraordinary month for music lovers in Birmingham, with Furnace Fest (October 3-5) and Iron Hills Country Music Festival (October 11-12)—both hosted at Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark.

Today, the organizers of both festivals announced their latest project: Magic City Flow Fest.

“We’re thrilled to bring Birmingham an incredible day of hip hop with Magic City Flow Fest.

Partnering with the City on this event makes it even more special. The lineup is stacked with some of the biggest names in the game, and it’s the perfect way to kick off Magic City Classic Week.

We can’t wait to celebrate the culture, the music, and the energy of this city.”

Johnny Grimes, Co-founder, Magic City Flow Fest
