Atlanta's Hot 107.9 Celebrates Three Decades of Hip Hop

Birthday Bash 2025

Atlanta's WHTA-FM (Hot 107.9) marks nearly thirty years of significant impact on Hip Hop culture, not just in the South but globally. The station has built a loyal following through authentic community service, unique listener experiences, and hosting one of the country's largest sold-out concerts, Birthday Bash ATL.

Last year's Birthday Bash ATL was a standout event held at the award-winning State Farm Arena. "HOT 107.9 produced a memorable concert experience with a historic headlining performance from Atlanta's own Latto, Boosie, Killer Mike, BossMan Dlow and surprise guests such as Usher, Summer Walker and more," the station announced.

Looking ahead, Birthday Bash ATL 2025 is set to elevate this tradition with another evening poised to be memorable for the culture. The event is highly anticipated to be another sell-out, with event producers advising fans to purchase tickets early.

Presale tickets will be available for HOT 107.9 Text Club members starting Thursday, March 6, and to the general public on Friday, March 7, at 10am AM via Ticketmaster.com. For the latest updates, visit www.BirthdayBashATL.com.
