ATLANTA (WXIA) — Videos online Monday afternoon show a massive crowd at Piedmont Park that gathered to reportedly see singer Daniel Caesar do a pop-up performance.
The artist shared on Instagram Monday he was going to be at the park around 4 p.m., telling fans, “see you there.”
People shared videos of the artist online singing to the large crowd.
An official with Atlanta’s Department of Parks and Recreation said their office, along with Atlanta Police, coordinated to respond to the park for an “unpermitted concert.”
“This event was not authorized or permitted through the City’s official event application process, which is in place to ensure public safety and proper park management. APD responded to ensure public safety and dispersed the crowd in an orderly manner,” the statement said.
Officials with Parks and Recreation asked that anyone who wants to hold an event at a city park to be sure to apply for a special event permit “to ensure compliance and safety for all attendees.”
Daniel Caesar is known for his hits “Best Part,” “Get You” and others.
