ATLANTA — Atlanta is currently in the grips of an intense heat wave, just as Truist Park is about to host a pair of major concerts this week.
Several legendary 80s acts - including Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, Poison and Joan Jett - are playing a show collectively on Thursday at the ballpark, and then Friday night will feature Zac Brown Band.
Michelle Barnhill is one of the fans who is heading to one of the concerts.
“It’s like being in an oven. You’re knocking on hell’s door," Barnhill said.
Audra McClure made sure she was prepared before braving the heat.
“Well, we’ve got some cold ice water and a fan," McClure said "We’re trying to beat the heat that way, at least we’re hoping.”

11Alive reached out to the Braves to see if anything specific is being done about stadium policy to give concert-goers some relief from the heat - including about umbrellas, water availability and policies about bringing your own water bottles.
Two major concerts are going on at @TruistPark tonight and tomorrow, and new precautions are in place due to the heat. That includes two new hydration and two new cooling stations. People can bring sealed or empty plastic water bottles, umbrellas, & handheld fans. @11AliveNews pic.twitter.com/G6U9Hfb49V
Here's what the team said:
For Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, Poison and Joan Jett on Thursday:
Parking is officially available at Braves lots for the Zac Brown Band concert on Friday night ranging from $15-35, depending on how close you want to park.
For Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe, it looks like your best bet will just be to use the lots normally available for The Battery shopping and dining.
Event day rates in the Red, Green, Yellow and Purple Decks are $20 for 2-3 hours, $30 for 3-4 hours and $50 for 4-24 hours. There are also special event rates in which the first two hours are free and then it's $20 "until the conclusion of the event." It's not clear what rate The Battery might consider for Thursday's concert.
The Braves have official guidance for the Zach Brown Band concert. It's not clear if it also applies to the concert on Thursday.
