Only in its second year, the Wrecking Ball ATL has already established an impeccable reputation, not just for its music, but for the indistinguishable and diverse culture in Atlanta, as well. Celebrating the iconic Masquerade music venue in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood, the Wrecking Ball brought over 60 punk rock artists — legendary and up-and-coming — there this year for one last hurrah before condominiums take its place.

On a five-stage format with three outdoor and two indoor stages, the Wrecking Ball started and ended with a bang, and we were fortunate enough to be a part of it. Photographer Jen Emmert snapped portraits of some of the nostalgic and on-the-rise performers over the weekend. Check out our favorites below.
