Maxwell Announces 3 Stop Summer Tour

Maxwell announced plans for a three city tour this summer including Los Angeles, Newark, and Atlanta. In each city he will perform two albums in their entirety on two nights. We are honored to be one of the three arena's chosen to host Maxwell's exclusive tour. On July 27 & 28 Maxwell will take the stage here at Philips Arena. The first night, he will perform his albums 'Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite' and 'Embrya' and the second night he'll perform 'Now' and 'BLACKsummers'night'. In addition to the songs you know and love, Maxwell and his eleven piece band will be debuting tracks from all four albums that have never been performed live.

Living the Green Life

On Thursday, April 5, Atlanta Hawks and Philips Arena team members, as well as a few Hawks players, joined The Home Depot and Trees Atlanta at Freedom Park to plant trees. This was the second year in a row that the Atlanta Hawks teamed with Trees Atlanta and The Home Depot for this project. Together, we planted 40 trees. A generous donation from The Home Depot was used to fund this project and the Atlanta Hawks Foundation made a donation to Trees Atlanta to facilitate future projects to prevent Atlanta's tree loss, create increased green space, and conserve our city's trees.
