The Isley Brothers & The O’Jays

Girl, you are not going to want to miss this! Get ready for an absolutely legendary night because The Isley Brothers and The O’Jays are hitting the stage together at the Synovus Bank Amphitheater at Chastain Park on August 22, 2026, at 7:30 PM. This is going to be one of those concerts you talk about for years, so mark your calendars!

The Isley Brothers, honey, they’ve been bringing us the good stuff since 1954. Seriously, they’re one of the longest running and most influential groups in American music history. They started out in gospel and then just exploded, blending soul, R&B, and rock into their own iconic sound. Think “Shout,” “Twist and Shout,” “It’s Your Thing,” and “Between the Sheets.” Their music has influenced so many artists across generations, and they were even inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and snagged a Lifetime Achievement Grammy in 2014. Ronald and Ernie Isley are still out here doing their thing, and we are here for it.

And then, darling, we’ve got The O’Jays, the kings of that smooth Philadelphia soul sound from the 70s. These Canton, Ohio natives, formed in 1958, are known for their rich harmonies, lush orchestrations, and those funky rhythms. They were the main act for Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff’s Philadelphia International label, giving us timeless hits like “Back Stabbers,” “For the Love of Money,” and “Love Train.” They’ve got multiple Hall of Fame inductions, including the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2005, and two Grammy Hall of Fame nods. This group is iconic, and while they’ve been on their final tour, you know they’re going to bring it.

Now, let’s talk about where all this magic is happening: the Synovus Bank Amphitheater at Chastain Park. This isn’t just any venue, it’s Atlanta’s oldest outdoor music venue, first opening its doors way back in June 1944. Located right in the historic Chastain Park in Buckhead, it was originally called North Fulton Park Amphitheatre and was renamed in 1946 to honor Commissioner Troy Green Chastain. It’s been through a few name changes over the years, becoming the Synovus Bank Amphitheater in March 2025, but it’s always been a cornerstone of Atlanta’s music scene. This spot is known for its serene and intimate vibe, with a circular stage and a sweeping lawn, accommodating about 6,900 guests.

So get ready to sing along to all your favorite R&B and soul classics under the stars. The Synovus Bank Amphitheater even lets you bring in your own food and drinks for those table and cooler setup shows, so make sure to check what’s allowed for this specific concert. You know it’s going to be a night full of good vibes and even better music.
