About Magic City Flow Fest

Billed as “The South’s Biggest Hip Hop Show,” Magic City Flow Fest was first announced in April 2026 as a new project from the team behind Furnace Fest. Originally scheduled for Saturday, October 18, 2025 at Legion Field, the new festival was set to feature several nationally-recognized and upcoming hip-hop acts, including:

Kevin Gates
Flo Milli
Young Nudy
Rick Ross
Waka Flocka Flame
Ying Yang Twins
Paul Wall
Chophead

Later that year, organizers announced that the festival had been rescheduled to May 9, 2026 and would be held at Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark.

Today, the team shared on social media that the festival had been canceled for 2026, stating:

After careful consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Magic City Flow Fest.
We’re incredibly grateful for the artists, partners, and community who were excited to be part of it. While this wasn’t an easy call, we believe it’s the right one for this season.

Additional details will be shared directly with ticket holders.

Thank you
– The MCF Team
