Friday, May 11:
SOUTHERN COMFORT MUSIC EXPERIENCE — Tonight marks the return of SCMX, a free, two-day festival created by the liquor company to feature bands, food and (of course) liquid refreshment. And, since potent potables will be present (for a price), attendance is restricted to those over the legal drinking age of 21. This isn’t Music Midtown, buddy. It’s an interesting sampling of bands and entertainment with main stage acts including Wolfmother (9:30 p.m.), Mickey Avalon (8 p.m.) and Rose Hill Drive (6:30 p.m.). A second stage, co-sponsored by Creative Loafing, will offer a chance to sip a set from Elevado (6 p.m.), Collective Efforts (7:30 p.m.) and Pistolero (9 p.m.) between the main acts. Free. 5 p.m.- 11 p.m., Centennial Park. www.southerncomfort.com/scmxatl. — Lee Valentine Smith

The second stage, co-sponsored by your comfortably Southern friends here at Creative Loafing, pours a party mix of Coy Bowles (3:30 p.m.), Crane (5 p.m.), Gurufish (6:30 p.m.) and Psyche Oragami (9 p.m.). Free. 3 p.m. – 11 p.m., Centennial Park. www.southerncomfort.com/scmxatl. — LVS
