Lenz is thrilled to once again serve as the presenting sponsor of the Amplify Decatur Music Festival — and this year’s event marks a major milestone as Amplify celebrates “A Decade of Music on the Square.” The four-day festival returns June 4–7 with an incredible lineup of live music, community spirit, and purpose-driven impact throughout downtown Decatur.
This year’s festival will give attendees the chance to be among the first to experience Decatur’s newly renovated and enhanced downtown square, including one of the very first concerts ever held on the city’s brand-new performance stage. With unforgettable performances, great local food and beverages, and stars both on stage and overhead, the weekend promises to be one of Amplify’s biggest celebrations yet.
Most importantly, every dollar raised during the festival will directly benefit Decatur Cooperative Ministry and the Decatur Education Foundation, supporting their ongoing work serving individuals and families in need throughout the community.
This year’s festival lineup includes four nights of can’t-miss music experiences:
Thursday, June 4 – The festival kicks off at the Avon Theater in Avondale Estates with a special performance from acclaimed indie folk duo Penny & Sparrow.
Friday, June 5 – Downtown Decatur comes alive with The Sundogs Present: The Tom Petty Show, taking place on the newly renovated downtown square performance stage. Enjoy pop-up performances at select restaurants on and around Decatur Square, including Brick Store Pub’s Beer Garden, O’Sullivan’s Pub, and more.
Saturday, June 6 – The flagship event celebrates the festival’s tenth year with “A Decade of Music on the Square,” featuring performances from Grammy-winning Americana duo Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Patterson Hood of The Drive-By Truckers, Dylan LeBlanc, and more.
Sunday, June 7 – The weekend concludes at Eddie’s Attic with the “Amplify Hall of Fame” show, a special tribute honoring the many talented artists who have graced the Amplify Decatur stage over the years.
Amplify My Community continues to leverage the universal love of music to create meaningful local impact. Since its founding, the organization has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for nonprofits serving individuals experiencing poverty and homelessness — helping strengthen communities one concert at a time.
Lenz is honored to support Amplify’s mission by providing a full suite of marketing services, including branding, advertising, public relations, social media, and website support.
Amplify was founded in 2011 by Lenz president Mike Killeen, and Lenz vice president Christine Mahin serves as festival director; Mike and Christine serve as co-board chairs, along with Drew Robinson, and on the board with Lenz Media Director Rachel Cushing. Jon Waterhouse, Lenz’s media relations manager, will emcee the event again this year, and all 2026 festival branding and artwork was created by Lenz art director Stephen Lacienski. Additionally, Lenz team members including Annice Wyatt, Frank Robertson, Ricky Pattillo, and Chase Aertker power key roles during festival weekend.
We hope you’ll join us for this unforgettable celebration of ten years of music, community, and impact. For more information and tickets, visit AmplifyDecatur.org!
