The ATL was in full effect and on top of its car game when DUB touched down on Saturday, August 15 for the ninth stop of the Monster Energy 2009 DUB Show Tour. Held at the Georgia International Convention Center, A-Town really came out to support the show, as more than 13,000 visitors packed every inch of the Convention Center to experience the nation’s biggest and best car show and concert.

The concert line-up was one of the best thus far for the year. With 13 artists in attendance, the performances had to start earlier than usual just to fit them all in! Performing their bangin’ hit singles included: MC Magic, Bakatown Youngin, Hell Raza, Amore, Fatigue, $wag, Small World, Young Dose, Gorilla Zoe, 2 Pistols, Lil Scrappy, Playaz Circle and ATL’s own Ludacris, who ended the show with an hour-long set! The Shop Boys also jumped on stage for a bit, while notable names who stopped by for a bit included, Pacman Jones, Slim from 112, producer extraordinaire Bagladesh and Jim Jones also took to the mic for as a special guest.

Besides the boisterous concert stage, the many interactive booths and display of sick cars made for a great Saturday evening. Midwest customs came through with an impressive fleet of custom rides that really turned heads. The Tribute to Lowriding display, as well as our Custom Bike Showcase had an ongoing crowd, while many of the booths saw heavy traffic. Those who showed up early were treated to a free haircut at the Boost Mobile Barber Shop and received cool freebies, while others got their drink on at the Monster Energy Lounge. Gamers put their fingers to work at the Xbox 360 booth, 2k Sports display and got to check out the new Midnight Club: Los Angles, South Central demo at Rockstar Games Midnight Club: Los Angeles booth. TAG was also passing out free cans of its new Signature Scent Series collaboration with Ludacris (make sure to check out DUB’s Issue 62 for more info on the special TAG body sprays with Carmelo Anthony, Rob Dyrdek and Luda).
